This might be the best Peranakan cuisine in Singapore. Candlenut Kitchen has moved several times over the past decade, graduating to a bigger and more modern space each time. I dined at the first two iterations of the restaurant, and these images are from the second. Since I originally posted this, they moved on to yet another locale. Look for this place. It’s a moving target, but the food is absolutely incredible.
