Hidden Eateries in South

Casa Bom Vento Express

Chef Lionel Chee and his wife Lyn, both Peranakans, manage Casa Bom Vento Express. They're the same individuals that brought you the legendary Casa Bom Vento restaurant, which shuttered a few years ago and is now open again after a four-year sabbatical.

Chilli Padi Nonya Restaurant

When you walk into the establishment, you'll be offered a hearty dinner with a kick from the famous sambal belacan. You'll enjoy excellent food whether you visit the east-side restaurant or the Queenstown cafe. Bakwan kepiting (pork and crab meatball soup), gula melaka assam prawns, and Nyonya fried chicken wings are all worth trying.

Popo And Nana'S Delights

Chef Grace Chin spent much of her childhood preparing Eurasian and Nyonya food for her family, and following encouragement from her family, she finally launched her own booth in 2014 to share her home cooked food. Grace, located at Maxwell Food Centre, offers a daily menu of low-cost, MSG-free Eurasian and Peranakan foods such as Curry Debal (Devil's Curry), Ayam Buah Keluak, Chap Chye, Rendang, and Babi Assam.
