Babas Peranakan 娘惹小吃



Tucked away nearby Ye Ji Cooked Food in a corner, Babas Peranakan is still easy to spot because of its glaringly orange sign board and infamous long queues during lunch. I personally made the effort to go to Babas Peranakan at 9am – even before the food was ready – on the way to office to try out the Peranakan fare.

Jolly and easy to talk to, Edwin Tan, the Peranakan chef-owner, has worked in hotels such as Shangri-La before and decided to strike out on his own after 20 years of experience in the F&B industry. I don’t think he could have made a better decision.



The selection may not be as varied and compared to other Economy Rice stalls, Babas Perankan may be slightly pricier but it is definitely worth your money. The curries will keep you coming back for more and I truly have never had a bigger serving or better-tasting otak-otak. The otak is fragrant, full of flavour and will knock your socks off.

Babas Peranakan: #02-225 Chinatown Complex Market & Hawker Centre, 335 Smith Street | Expected Damage: $4 – $15 | Opening Hours: Closed on Wednesday, Mon – Tues & Thurs – Sun 10AM – 1.30PM
