Time for a good treat to reward ourselves after a long day @ the flea. We got the foodie FMQ with us, so we headed down to Chilli Padi for our dinner :)
Thankfully for FMQ who lives around the area, she brought us to the venue safely :) If not, Leecher will be driving aimlessly around in circles.
Step into the Peranakan world!
The usual wall of fame (frame).
Just in time for last order, lol!
I've heard many rave reviews about their array of authentic Peranakan cuisine & that was also the reason why we decided to cater from their catering arm for our house-warming. Even though their catering arm didn't perform up to expectation, I was still gamed to give their restaurant a try.
Achar, which tasted ordinary according to the rest.
Lime juice & Fresh soupsop to quell the (expected) spiciness ~
Waiting for our food *stomach growling!* We arrived on the dot for last order, hence we just ordered whatever were on the recommended list & to serve dessert together with the rest of the dishes.
Kueh Pie Tee - you can't possibly stop at one! A lethal combination of crunchy "pie" & spicy belachan, this is why this item that is being raved by customers.
Sambal Kangkong ~ true Peranakan fare, topped with chilli. I had to wash this down with the lime juice afterwards, lol!
Ayam Buah Keluak ~ this is an acquired dish and I wasn't a fan of it, with the spices being used. The others were all full of praises for it .... guess I must be the odd one out then :)
Ngor Hiang, stuffed with minced pork, fried to a crispy perfection.
Durian Chendol, which Leecher wiped it out clean. I was worried that he would suffer a tummy upset later, but thankfully, his strong stomach managed to pull things through, haha!

Even though we ordered a table filled with dishes, somehow the meal didn't feel satisfying. So we headed off for another round ... of desserts!
