😊🙏 OMG! Genuine Peranakan dishes from the Joo Chiat area! Brought back many fond memories of Tanjong Katong of the 1990s when was stationed there! Still remembered the old Tanjong Katong Shopping Mall which had many delicious road side restaurants that catered the many Penang , Peranakan & Hong Kong style dishes! Quite busy after 6pm! Can walk over via a overhead bridge to Parkway Parade Shopping Centre too! Thank You So Much CNA for sharing the short version! 😊🙏

This looks like an interesting food series, the food looks so flavourful. 😊

Almost choked on sambal when I hear Denise told the owner Peranakan food is dying art.

[@anglo-saxonconnor817]

She isn't wrong in her statement. It is indeed a dying art. Good authentic peranakan dishes cooked by real peranakans are hard to come by in this day and age.
