I hadn't noticed this stall (#02-225 Chinatown Food Centre, 335 Smith Street) until the recent few years when they were written about. About the owner who's of Peranakan descent who had previously been from the hotel industry and how he's set up shop in Chinatown. Bloggery ensued. You know that's how it goes.
Anywayyys...I wouldn't have known that they were of Peranakan origins had they not been mentioned. To me, the stall looked very much like another cai png shop. The operative word in the last sentence was 'looked'.
This is where I go into what I enjoyed. The onion omelette was tender light and had a sweetness from the onion. All the sweetness will of course be subdued if you eat them with the sambal belachan which was also good accompaniment to pretty much everything on the plate. Chap chye looked pale but had the prerequisite flavour I expected. That fried chicken thigh was exceptional. Meat was moist, no undercooked parts, tender that you could get it off the bone easily and generously flavoured with spices and salt.
Ask for their lemak curry to be drizzled on the rice.
