1. Chili Padi Nonya Restaurant

Famous for its cabbage roll and curry fish head, Chili Padi Nonya Restaurant is serious about delivering the utmost authenticity of the Penerakan cuisine–giving its customers a chance to enjoy the dishes by one of the earlier settlers in Singapore.

Peranakan is a mixture of Chinese, Malay, or Indonesian cultures. So you can expect rich, tangy, mostly spicy dishes, and with a hint of aromatics and herbs. A small serving of their melt-in-your-mouth Beef Rendang is priced at $14.10.

Address: 11 Joo Chiat Pl, #01-03, Singapore 427744

2. Chuan Wei Xuan

For spicy lovers, Sichuan cuisine is a go-to option at any time of the day. Whether you want some stir fry or are in the mood for hotpot, Chuan Wei Xuan has a wide selection of dishes that will suit your preference. Have a Sichuan Style Spicy Shrimp for $15 or you can go for a serving of their Double Mushroom Chicken Hot Pot for $20.

Hours: 11:30 am to 10:00 pm (closed on Mondays)

3. Long Phung Vietnamese Restaurant

Vietnamese cuisine involves rice in whatever form–steamed, noodles, rice papers, sticky, or porridge. With the balanced blend of aromatics, the natural umami from seafood or meat, and refreshing herbs like mint and cilantro, one serving of Vietnamese cuisine can give you a refreshing and filling dining experience without hurting your pocket.

Get a bowl of their beefy Pho Thai for $7.9 and pair it with spring rolls, prawns, and rolled salad priced at $12.
