Candlenut

Went to Candlenut for a wedding lunch, and the food didn’t disappoint. The Babi Buah Keluak wasn’t as soft as desired, and it was a little salty for my liking. Everything else was really tasty though! Would come back again, blue swimmer crab curry noodles was 💯

Came here for a wedding a couple weeks ago and I was really blown away by the blue swimmer crab curry noodles! Spicy & flavourful, the curry came together in the creaminess of the coconut milk and so much crab meat! 👏🏼

Had an amazing experience hosting our wedding at Candlenut. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the food and drinks amidst the cosy setting. I would like to specially mention Li Xian, our Event Consultant, who worked tirelessly to make this happen for us. She was energetic, engaging and always attentive to details. What truly set her apart was her expertise in events - it was almost as though she was doubling as a wedding planner. Thank you very much Li Xian and team for making our celebration a memorable one.

Went to Candlenut for the 1st time attending a wedding. I've always love peranakan food. So much depth and flavour in each dish. I enjoyed all the dishes but you know, as much as I would like to be fair, some just stand out way more than others - I guess am ranking the dishes! Wagyu beef rib rendang - Woah!!! meat was so tender and the fats just melts in your mouth. Worth the calories. Blue swimmer crab curry - I love eating crabs, a good marriage of crabs and curry. Won't say no to it, just wish there was more crab meat in the curry... Greedy, I know. Gula melaka prawn - coconut gravy goes perfectly well with rice, probably ate too much rice - prawns were a little tough though. Babi buah keluak - buah keluak is a must have in pernakan food. Pork was tender. I would say this dish is an underdog. Wok fried sambal "Four heavenly King" - the only vegetable dish that you won't have to force me to eat... I love all the vegetables in there. Local red snapper, ginger, tau cheo - Am not a fish person... That's probably subconsciously it's the last on my list. Don't get me wrong, it is nice but just not on my must eat list. Tau cheo made the dish a little too salty for my liking. Overall, I like it. I would recommend that you give it a try if you love peranakan food like I do. I hope the dishes are named correctly in the photos... Somehow am having difficulty tapping the photo and writing in the 'What's in the photo' box.
