If you’re looking for authentic Peranakan cuisine in Singapore, then NonyaBong is perhaps the right place for you.
The private dining serves both À la carte menu and the “Eat Until Pain”, “Eat Until Pengsan” and “Eat Until Blessed” 8, 10 & 12-course set menus.
Recipes are collected since Uncle Jeffery Chia’s grandparents' days who are both Peranakans and chefs.

VERDICT:
Uncle Jeffery was such an excellent host, weaving in stories of ingredients and Peranakan traditions.
My favourite was the Bakwan Kepiting, Buah Keluak Ayam, Sambal Prawns, Wingbean Salad and Sago Pearl Pudding.
If you’re thinking of changing the environment of your usual dining restaurants, NonyaBong is perhaps the ideal place to get together with friends and for good Peranakan home cook food, of course.
Had a jolly & great dining experience with friends and getting to know the chef’s roots & family recipes.
Portions were huge too that we could even take out the left overs home. Prior reservations have to be made and there is a years ‘s waiting list (next available slot is in April 2024).
