Singapore｜Charlie's Peranakan Food

We fell in love with the food, came to feast here 2x this week. Very tasty peranakan food at a very reasonable price. Really appreciate the efforts of Charlie and Amy to continue affordable Peranakan food because we seldom felt full when eating Peranakan food. Large portion of tasty chap chye for $5 only. We prefer the Ayam (chicken) Buah Keluak to babi (pork) $13. Chicken meat is more tender. 3 pieces of buah keluak, so affordable! Friends who tasted it for the 1st time aptly described buah keluak's similarity to salty fermented bean paste. 1st time trying the belimbing (a kind of small melon) chicken $13, it was so creamy, a bit spicy with a bit of sourness. Another that we like is the jackfruit curry, very lovely texture, creamy and only mildly spicy Lok kai yik $22 - is a special Cantonese claypot dish, with pig skin, pig intestines, cuttlefish with sauce made of fermented bean curd, huge portion, order it if there are at least 4pax. Looking forward to our next visit already - hopefully get to try some of the fish dishes they didn't get fish this week... oh their sambar chilli is potent! Charlie's is not good for the waistline. 😹😹

First time visiting and ordered beef rendang, chap chye, ayam buah keluak, and bakwan kepiting. All food was delicious (wasn't expecting the bakwan kepiting to be soup though), but the highlight is 100% the beef rendang and ayam buah keluak. The belacan is spicy, totally love it. The aunty is also very friendly.

Outstanding peranakan food served in this humble stall. Menu includes classic Peranakan dishes as well as some more exotic options like jackfruit curry. Prices are reasonable. Really good.
