True Blue Peranakan Food

The Clairvoyant and I followed up our terrific Saturday lunch at Pizzeria Mozza with another lunch but this time enjoying Peranakan food over at True Blue Cuisine. The restaurant is located along the Armenian Street just a couple of blocks from the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd where we usually hear Mass on Sundays. True Blue Cuisine is just beside the Peranakan Museum that is located in the building that used to house the Asian Civilizations Museum.

We enjoyed the ayam buah keluak or chicken stewed in black nuts, which to me looked something like adobong manok but certainly had its distinctive spicy taste that to me is a blessing in itself. We paired this with snapper fillet in curry and had fresh coconut juice in the shell for drinks. The interior of True Blue had a feel of a heritage house and the entrance is lined with frames hung on the wall that showed the many recognitions this restaurant has been awarded over the years.

All in all, that weekend's fare was excellent not just because the two restaurants were great finds and we got to enjoy excellent food but also because both offered great value for money. I look forward to more great restaurants as we continue to explore Singapore. But definitely, we will be eating again at the Mozza and True Blue.
