Woody Family Peranakan Cafe

Service speed was average. Uncle was very friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was made with love, from scratch and with a twist. The chilli was wonderfully spicy packs a real kick! Atmosphere was a cool chill retro. From a time long ago and nowhere to be found. Loved the effort and love that the chef put into each of her dishes which made the wait for the food and the travel time absolutely worth it

This is a cosy, home-run Peranakan café with limited manpower, so it’s best to come with the right expectations. Don’t expect professionally dressed service staff but do expect heartfelt hospitality. The food is excellent, service is polite, and both the servers and bosses are genuinely friendly. The waiting time can be a little long, but it’s worth every minute. We truly enjoyed the comfortable, relaxed, homey atmosphere.

I really wanted to like this place but having to wait over 2.5 hours for my lunch was a deal breaker. After waiting 1 hour, we were informed that one dish had to be cancelled due to lack of ingredient. Service is good, friendly. Food was palatable, it was nice but I had better at other restaurants. Will I come back again, maybe not. Maybe it is due to the lack of manpower or one-man kitchen that I had to wait for close to 3 hours for the completion of all dishes. I hope they improve in this area. All the best!

Food: - babi pongteh $17 9/10 the pork is so tender Portion is just nice for 2-3 pax - beef rendang $18 9/10 SEDAP BODOH THE BEEF DAMN TENDER i’ve never had beef rendang this TENDER and tasty before. Please try it. It is pretty spicy so opt for less spicy if you can’t handle your spice well. - chinchalok Omelette $12 7/10 it’s worth the try and i love how it’s fried, but i’m personally not a big fan of eggs to begin with. Atmosphere: I love the decoration and vibe this place gives off, the restaurant has a rustic touch which gives it so much personality. Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!! The owner uncle is super nice and even checked up on us when we had a hard time deciding what to order. He recommended us what to get and their specialties, and even warned us about the spice level so we won’t be surprised by it! I noticed he did that for all the diners. Price: On the pricier side but it’s justified by the quality!

Tried but google wouldn't let me give 10 stars to the food. Fantastic rustic charm in the deco and to die for Barramundi Assam. Aiyo! MUST TRY!!! Easy off-street parking. Otherwise, park at the public carpark at the park and take a short walk (just right to digest the good food when walking back to the car). Forget about Melaka or Malaysia. Just come straight here with the kids :)

Located almost at the end of sembawang on Andrew Ave. nice quaint cafe with beautiful la terms n quirky collectibles displayed. It’s the only eatery inside the estate so it’s popular with locals. Food is good and prices are mid ranged. When crowded the service slows down as they dint have many staff. Ordering by scanning the menu is not my favourite and they do not take verbal orders of food or drink. The Babi buah keluak was my favourite last night.

Tucked just a distance away from Sembawang Park is this quiet rustic cozy eatery where you can get a nice flavourful spice laden Nasi Ulam! Pair it with the other Peranakan dishes will will really spice you up! I'll go easy on the chillies and careful in the separate chillies as I'm not good with spicy sauces and foods. There's quite a good list of selection and it's nice to forget and not compare with other similar dishes and just enjoy the ambience with friends while munching away in good company. Not every item might be up to everyone's expectation but I do enjoy the variety and trying out the more interesting creations like Beetroot Buah Keluak ice cream ... Opted for the platter, helps to save a lost brain from navigating the menu. As servings are portions and usually foods are homecooked, they would not be piping hot, like some families would served as I've learnt, otherwise will burnt my tongue. Will come again to try out other dishes and maybe this time during the day so I can also pop by the beach. Oh, I'll go for the root beer float anytime though it's on the smaller size but the foam! I feel nostalgic when I see that foam. The apple crumbed is also delicious, a nice sweet ending.

No air conditioning so dress comfy! Limited service so expect a decent wait — the kitchen is mainly run by one very talented chef. Their food will take time, but their babi pongteh and chincalok fried rice was fired hot and worth coming back for.
