The Peranankan Restaurant at Claymore Connect

The Peranankan Restaurant is an authentic Straits cuisine restaurant well known for its Peranankan dishes. Located on the 2nd floor of Claymore Connect in Orchard, it offers not only food but Peranankan exhibits as well. 

With POSB/DBS credit card promotion, the restaurant now offers 1 for 1 high tea set at $35++ for weekends. Each peranankan high tea set comes with free pandan lemongrass tea, Melaka coffee or tea. 

The set is fixed with portion by per pax. 1st served was the dry laksa. A little disappointing in taste as the dish tasted bland. The rest of the dishes were served on a huge nostalgic looking tray. 

We would highly recommend their kueh pie tee, ngoh hiang, spingroll and satay babi kongbak bao. For desserts, their durian puree is the best. Some of the dishes are very strong in spices taste like lemongrass, and we are so not used to it.

Unless you are a vivid peranankan dish lover, this high tea set may not be recommended. Would personally prefer english high tea set anytime.

Previously, Kevin and I have reviewed on their chicken rice and cajun burger. Today we are back here with a group of friends to have a mini lunch celebration. Via Eatigo, we are entitled 50% discount on all food items as usual.

Here's our lunch menu:

1. Mushroom soup - pure mushrooms grinded and cooked. Could taste the mushroom freshness. 

2. Ribeye steak. - 3 of us ordered this. We ordered at medium rare but 1 of our steak was served as medium well. Despite being cooked at medium well, the steak was still very tender.  The mash potatoes and mushroom as sides were good as well.

3. Baked salmon - 2 of us ordered this dish. The salmon is baked with cheese and seafood on the top and drizzled with salsa sauce. Lovely combination. The small honey baked potato were excellent tasting as well. A nice portion for lunch. 

4. Carbonara - lovely creamy carbonara with lots of ingredients like ham and mushrooms. Pasta was cooked to the right texture. 

5. Tomyum Aglio oglio - generous seafood ingredients like scallops, mussels and prawns cooked in tomyum pasta. A very nice fusion dish. 

6. Mee goreng - sounds crazy to eat local food here but is is actually one of their recommended dishes. Lots of seafood in the noodles and noodles are also cooked to the right texture and taste. Sweet and a little spicy. 

7. Bebek goreng - a huge portion of rice with baked duck served with ar char and cracker. A rice is so fragrantly fried and can even eat it on its own.

Besides the good food, service at the restaurant was excellent as well. Water was constantly topped up and as one of the steak dish was cooked to the wrong requirement, they helped us to void it. So it was a free steak for Peter! 

A well worth restaurant to visit with family and friends.
