Known forperanakanmichelinnyonyadempsey
The world's first Michelin-starred Peranakan restaurant, Candlenut by chef Malcolm Lee elevates nyonya cuisine with refined technique while keeping it deeply rooted in tradition. The buah keluak fried rice and beef rendang are standouts. Dempsey Hill location means you'll need a taxi or Grab — but the lush surroundings add to the experience.
