Godmama at Funan - Modern Peranakan Restaurant Singapore

At Funan Mall in Singapore, I dined at Godmama and enjoyed some wonderful traditional Singaporean food. I had a delicious pork dish and some blue jasmine rice, and the portions were generous—I left full and happy. The milkshake was great too. The atmosphere is just okay; you’re not really there for the ambiance—it’s at the top of the mall near a gym. The service was nothing special, just average. But if you’re after tasty Singaporean dishes, this is definitely a spot worth visiting!

Had a fantastic group dinner at Godmama last evening. I highly recommend this place with a larger group so you can enjoy a variety of their peranakan offerings without heaviness! There was no bad dish. Everything was cooked to perfection with layered, complex flavours. Atmosphere is casual and not stuffy. The great food really enhanced the group interaction too! A must-try is their signature popiah with smooth eggy skin. It happens to be the one photo I don’t have below because we walloped it as soon as it landed on our table!

We came here for a birthday lunch as the hubs loves to eat Peranakan food. We ordered the Keropok Ikan to share and the portion was huge. Personally, we found the keropok a bit fishy for our liking. The homemade belacan mayo is great for peeps who can't take spicy food, but I personally prefer the standard belacan which has more kick. The Nonya Fried Wings were very crispy but it's a pity that it's served with the belacan mayo again. The Babi Pongteh had a nice gravy that will go well with rice. The potatoes were braised and in bite sizes. I just wished the pork belly could be sliced thinly instead of such thick slices. The Nonya Chap Chye is another great dish that would go so well with rice. The Nasi Ulam. How should I say this? I think the herbs and spices were overloaded. If the herbs and spices were controlled with a lesser amount, I believed the Nasi Ulam would be nicely fragrant without being overpowering. Desserts were spot-on though. Pulut Hitam Panna Cotta came with silken coconut panna cotta served with pulut hitam and coconut shavings. The Gingerflower and Lychee Sorbet is an exclusive by Apiary, topped with roasted peanut crumble and lime jelly. Overall, I feel that we need to understand that this is a modern Peranakan restaurant, so we should expect some dishes to be innovative. Some innovation a hit, while others a miss.

Really enjoyed the savoury dishes at Godmama! Their Nasi Ulam, Assam Fish and Sayur Lodeh were rich, aromatic and deeply satisfying. Each dish carried distinct layers of spice and texture, true to the Peranakan flair. The panna cotta pulut hitam, however, fell short — the sweetness was well-balanced but the panna cotta itself was rather bland. As the indoor tables were full, we were seated outdoors, which thankfully turned out breezy, comfortable, and pleasantly relaxed. Overall, a flavourful meal with just a minor miss on dessert.

Had a pleasant dining experience at Godmama for family dinner. The Nasi Ulam we had paired well with the curry barramundi (with pineapples) and Sayur Lodeh. The flavours were all on point. Also tried the Devil's Curry, which was also good. Although we were initially concerned by the small size of the restaurant, the size of the tables and seating were comfortable and we didn't not feel too squeezed. Would recommend for family dinner or a date if you're into trying out Peranakan food.

My family and I really enjoyed our dinner at Godmama. The dishes were excellent especially the beef rendang which was very tender and flavourful. The chap chye, ngoh hiang, sayur lodeh and nasi ulam were very good as well. And, I think they make the best nyonya achar in town. The service was very prompt and friendly. Overall, it’s a great place to have well-prepared innovative peranakan dishes.

Quiet atmosphere, easy to talk, and the outdoor seating was cooling as well. Service was fast and friendly. Beef Rendang was tasty, Ngoh Hiang was good, Nasi Ulam was average, and the Chap Chye was not bad, not too salty, but would be better with more prawn flavour
