"Peranakan cuisine is a mixture of several Asian cultures, and before Kapitan opened, no restaurants in Chicago served this unique cuisine. On a trip abroad, Victor Low realized how much he enjoyed the food and that he wanted to bring it back to his adopted hometown. Beyond serving staple sharable dinner options, Kapitan also offers breakfast, including one Malaysian street food standout: an egg-wrapped sandwich called the Ramly Burger. They’ve also brought over the menu from Serai, a Malaysian restaurant that closed in 2024 in Logan Square." - Ashok Selvam
