I love Peranakan food. But the problem with them is, they are always quite a hassle to make so the only times I can get to eat them (pray with a little luck!), are during festivals or celebrations. So it was to my surprise to find this one day while walking down Katong: Pastries filled with Peranakan dishes!
1) Ayam Kleo
($2.20)
Verdict: A little hit and miss on this. I bought 2, one was charred at the bottom and overly salty, while the other was just right. The chicken shreds were nicely marinated, and you can taste all the spices nicely. The pastry was light and flaky and goes really well with the filling!
2) Babi Pongteh
($1.90)
Verdict: I like the tart shell; it was light and buttery and slightly sweet. Sadly, the Babi Ponteh didn't live up to my expectations. While the fillings were nice and moist, the taste was pretty forgettable.
3) Ayam Buah Keluak
($1.50)
Verdict: Out of all 3, this, is my absolute favorite! The amount of spiciness is just right, and it goes really well with the bun! This is clearly one of the best sellers because they were only left with 3 when I was there at 1pm on a Sunday! (Apparently they are out from the oven at 12pm)
So far, I've been there twice, and making plans to go back for more. The only downside to it is that there are no direct buses that I can take to there and thus...I'll probably burn some calories just getting to their shop.
