True Blue@Armenian Street

Singapore has a lot of good food, a lot of them in hawker centers, some in nice fine restaurants, and peranakan food is always so so yummy, usually housed in quaint little restaurants.

TrueBlue looks more like a living musuem than a restaurant, but it just happen to serve food in a nice relaxing ambience...food is rather the unusual peranakan fair, though a bit pricy. Only course that wasn't tasty is probably the otak otak - too spicy and too dry.


Menu in the design of a Peranakan Door - Ingenue


Living Museum & restaurant all in one....even the crockery & cutlery has a elegant feel to it.

Banana Flower salad - very good, unusual taste and texture

And this has got to be the best Kueh Pie Tee I ever tasted. I suspect they fried the pie skin themselves to give it 'ol so crispy' texture

Coriander Duck - not spicy, very nice duck taste

Buah Kalau - this is soo delicious, the black nut with chicken is sooo nice, the curry is fantastic with rice...just pure yum

Water spinach ( maybe I forgot the name) - but its great, its crunchy and reminds me of all the wild vegetables I ate in Taiwan, natural, crunchy and wholesome

Otak-Otak  - too dry, too spicy and very expensive, just skip this dish when you are there.


More updated dishes on my 2nd visit to True Blue!

This is sambal Potato leaves.... the sambal curry sauce is seriously yummy.

Chap Chai - mixed vegetables with vermicelli stir-fried...this is sooo old school and so yummy at the same time! Great dish to order to break the spiciness of the meal

Meat & crab Ball soup - this is really yummy. I tried it even though there's crab inside of it.

Wild Pepper Leaf Omelette - name sounds exciting, you can taste bits of a strange tasting herb...but the omelette is a bit dry.....not really a very good dish.

Beef Rendang - a bit tough though....but nicely spiced out.....ok for foreign guest...but for very difficult local foodies....I wouldn't expect this to be their standard.
