Candlenut
Peranakan Malaysian
Buah keluak, a fruit that has to be fermented before it stops being poisonous, appears here as ice cream, which tells you almost everything about chef Malcolm Lee's approach. Candlenut is a Peranakan fine dining restaurant in the leafy Dempsey Hill enclave, holding a Michelin star, with the menu drawing on Straits-Chinese recipes passed through his family. You can order à la carte or surrender to the omakase, both paths ending somewhere unexpected.

Wing bean salad
“A warming wing bean salad plays with contrasts, with zesty calamansi lime dressing coats a mix of blanched greens and crispy fried anchovies.”
The Infatuation -
Ngoh hiang
“Ngoh hiang arrives as crisp beancurd rolls stuffed with pork and prawns, deeply savory with the surprising crunch of water chestnuts and a sweet soy glaze.”
