The Ayam Buah Keluak was the highlight of the evening. The chicken was cooked until tender and generously coated in a deeply spiced, dark gravy laced with buah keluak paste. For those unfamiliar, buah keluak is the fermented seed of the kepayang tree, commonly used in Peranakan cooking. It lends a complex flavour profile to dishes — earthy, slightly bitter, with deep umami and hints of dark chocolate, mushroom, and truffle. When cooked well, like here, it adds a complexity to the dish and left a memorable taste with me.

The Nyonya Jap Jai, however, was a bit of a surprise. Traditionally a stewed vegetable dish flavoured with fermented bean curd and glass noodles, this version was lighter and leaned more toward Cantonese-style clear broths. There were crunchy cashews, fresh herbs, and bright chili notes, giving it a refreshing yet unexpected twist. It may not have been a classic rendition, but it was still a well-balanced and enjoyable dish.
