Chunwen HuangAs a third generation Nyonya who grew up eating my Nenek's cooking, I personally find it difficult to be impressed by Peranakan cuisine — which is also why I highly recommend Old Bibik's! Ambience: No Aircon and might get a tad warm but there're fans. Service: Fantastic; staff were very attentive! Dishes we ordered and ratings: 1) Beef Rendang Set Meal (8/10) - Beef Rendang was tender and flavourful; generally good but not impressive. Chap Chye was good too but also not impressive. Everything else is exactly what you expect it to taste like. 2) Crispy Chinchalok Omelette (10/10) - one of my fave dishes, the texture of crispiness + fluffiness was there and the sauce went so well with the egg! The omelette didn't just have Chinchalok, it also had small prawns in it! Personally feel this is a must order! 3) Barramundi Assam Pedas (9/10) - Am not someone who enjoys Fish much and therefore this rating shows that the dish is considered to be very good 🤭 Fish was fried to a really good texture and the bite was good too. Sauce was a very authentic assam pedas taste! My husband and father (2nd gen Baba) was so in love with this dish, they were ready to travel here again just to eat this (we stay in the far west so that speaks a lot too) 4) Udang Nenas Masak Lemak (9/10) - I actually really like this dish but the more I ate it the more I thought of laksa because of how Lemak it was 😂 Nenas had a small contribution to the sourness but otherwise it's really fresh prawns in a Lemak laksa sauce and some sourness. Still rating it high cos I really enjoyed this dish! Definitely coming back again for more, and probably gonna bring more people so we can try more dishes too!
Jan WeeWent there for lunch. Not crowded. No anircon but airy. Ordered the set lunch consisting of Ayam pong teh and fish tempra. Price is reasonable but food is so-so only. As a Peranakan, I don’t usually go for Peranakan cuisine when I ate out, but my friend wants to try. I find the pontes a tad salty and the chicken was tough. The tempra is ok. Dessert consisting of sago and gula melaka was good.
Arti SoejitnoCame here straight from the airport with friends for lunch, place is very cute traditional Singaporean restaurant, authentic Chinese peranakan menu. Taste is okay, I would expect a stronger one - menu variations quite a lot, waiting time is good, waiter are helpful too. They offer delivery service too and some hampers for special occasions. Love their interior decorations, nostalgic old chinesse setting. Lovely.
