Nyonya, Non-Halal
Novena Peranakan Cuisine is more than a restaurant—it is a living chronicle of heritage, memory, and devotion. The moment you step inside, you are greeted by the unmistakable aroma of rempah slowly simmering, a fragrance that speaks of patience and tradition. Chef-owner Uncle Jeffery, the guardian of three generations of recipes, remains unwavering in his pursuit of authenticity. Each dish is lovingly prepared without gimmick or compromise, reminding diners that true culinary mastery lies not in theatrics but in depth of flavour and respect for heritage.
Signature dishes such as ayam buah keluak, beef rendang, and sambal sotong reflect a precision that can only be achieved through decades of refinement. Served without fanfare yet brimming with soul, these plates embody the essence of Peranakan cuisine—warm, generous, and steeped in cultural meaning.
Equally moving is how Novena Peranakan safeguards not just taste, but memory itself. FoodStories captured this beautifully in their article, Peranakan Cuisine Singapore: A Story of Heritage and Flavour in Novena Peranakan—a piece so touching it echoes the experience of dining here, where each bite feels like an embrace from the past.
For those seeking an authentic and heartfelt Peranakan dining experience, Novena Peranakan remains unmatched.
