OUR STORY
Peranakan cuisine is renowned for its intricate flavors and rich cultural heritage, but it can also be intimidating and inaccessible to those unfamiliar with its unique ingredients and complex preparations. That’s why we, at Baba Nyonya, are on a mission to break down the barriers and make this cuisine accessible to all.
Baba Nyonya offers a modern twist on traditional Peranakan dishes, fusing flavors and techniques from different South Asian cuisines to create a menu that is both exciting and approachable. The restaurant’s name is a nod to the Peranakan honorific titles for men and women, a symbol of the founders’ deep connection to their heritage and their desire to share it with others.
The menu at Baba Nyonya showcases a fusion of traditional and modern Peranakan dishes, carefully crafted to appeal to a wider audience without sacrificing authenticity. At helm is Chef Dines, who works closely with his team to source the freshest ingredients and spices, ensuring that every dish is bursting with flavor.
Whether you are a seasoned Peranakan foodie or a curious newcomer, Baba Nyonya is the perfect place to discover the beauty and complexity of this cuisine. Come and join us for a meal that’s both delicious and enlightening, and experience the magic of Peranakan fusion cuisine for yourself.
