Peranakan Food, anyone? Baba Inn
With its simple, unassuming and distinctly Peranakan decor, Baba Inn is THE place to go if you're sick of yuppie food and want someplace to relax and tuck into a piping hot homecooked meal.
I just love bringing food from the east right to your doorstep! Muahahahahaha!
So what should you try here? The chicken buah keluak comes soaked in a spicy and flavourful gravy, which you MUST drench your rice with.
Another favourite is the Nonya chap chye, which tastes better than the regular ones you find outside at zhu chao places. And their fat, juicy otak otak puts those you find at hawker stalls to shame.
Bakwan kepiting is a crab shell stuffed with minced meat, crab, crunchy water chestnuts and I dunno what else, then is served piping hot in a clear broth and topped with bamboo shoots.
Their curry fishhead is extremely addictive. It set my mouth on fire, and I was tearing and consuming obscene amounts of water, but like a true masochist, I couldn't stop torturing my tastebuds because it was so yummy.

Hello there. It ain't too heavy on the wallet, I think? $5 - $12 per dish depending on what you order?

Hi, saw that you've tried the Ayam Penyet Ria too, so which is better?

I've never been to Chinatown food centre or Albert Street Temporary food centre so can't compare. Yup, it's "song fish head" steam with tau see style, and I love the pork lard on it, very crispy. ^o^

How is the fish steam head compared to the ones at Chinatown food centre or there's another stall in Albert Street Temporary food centre? The steam fish head is "song fish head" steam with tau see style?

I went to the tony roma's in singapore suntec city, the ribs is very nice & tender and the chocolate dessert is sinful! Dun like the corn soup though.

Yup, the roast pork is super nice, & it sold out very fast, the lunch hour is 1130am to 230pm and the roast pork sold out at around 1pm.

Overall plus the cendol. I like the sauce but the crushed peanuts spoiled it and the fried stuffs too plain.
