O’nya Sayang (Tampines Mall)

Saw the same restaurant at Paya Lebar Square but the queue was rather long during dinner. Since we would like to have affordable Peranakan food, we noticed that they have recently opened another outlet at basement of Tampines Mall. The previous tenant of this place was also serving Peranakan food but unfortunately, the food tasted salty and not flavourful at all.

We liked their idea of promoting set meals for 2 persons and 4 persons. The set menu was quite extensive and they have included many signature dishes that we would otherwise have to order separately.

Ikan Assam Pedas ( Fish in sour and spicy gravy ) - The fish was fresh and the gravy was superb when we mixed it with our rice.

Ayam Buah Keluak ( Chicken in black nut ) - There was only 1 nut in this dish but the chicken meat was fused with the thick gravy, thus making it an enjoyable meal.

Stewed Chap Chye ( Mixed vegetables in bean sauce ) - The vegetables were cooked just right, unlike some places where the cabbage were soggy. There was also generous amount of dried bean curb and black fungus.

Babi Pongteh ( Pork in bean sauce ) - The fatty pork meat was soft and tender. It has soaked up the fried bean sauce with garlic and tasted delicious.

Ngoh Hiang ( Wrapped minced meat/prawns ) - One of the few recommended side dish to try. It was served piping hot and each bite has the right balance of sweetness from the meat and prawns.

At an affordable price of $29.90 nett, we truly enjoyed our meal and will definitely come back to try the rest of their dishes.
