It started with family.
Kueh Pie Tee, Ayam Buah Keluak, Itek Tim– classic Peranakan food which is more than just that – these are food of our family, food first encountered in our popo’s kitchen.
At The Candlenut Kitchen, we pride ourselves in serving authentic Peranakan cuisine, and our name reflects our commitment to the very best and finest ingredients that make our food what it will always be – good, Peranakan food.
In a time of many changes, our culture is in danger of slowly fading away. At The Candlenut Kitchen, we fight this with our very heart and soul, bringing the food of our people to the forefront, sharing and preserving our tradition and heritage.
Yet we do not remain static. We have refined the recipes passed on through generations to give to you the very best. We Peranakans have also grown with the times; as such we also served modern dishes including our own homemade ice creams and chendol “cream” in representation of our changing tastes, which popo fully enjoys and supports.
We hope you enjoy your stay at The Candlenut Kitchen. Stay awhile, eat some good food and learn about our rich culture.
