Suitably situated next to the Peranakan Museum, True Blue Cuisine is Singapore’s most authentic Peranakan restaurant.
A unique cultural community in Singapore, the Peranakans are
mostly descendents of 15th and 16th century Chinese immigrants of the British
Straits Settlements of Malaya. These immigrants adopted much of the Malay
culture, including their language and dress. They are fluent in the Malay
language, speaking Peranakan patois, which is a charming blend of Malay peppered
with Hokkien words.
Today, the Peranakans are known for their rich and unique culture
and heritage from their language and style of dress to their customs, and of
course, fabulous cuisine. “We believe that the best way to round up your
Peranakan experience is to dine in our restaurant where our culture comes
alive,” says True Blue Cuisine’s Owner and Chef, Benjamin Seck, who has appeared
on several cooking programmes on local TV.
