We held our ROM and lunch celebration for around 100 guests at Straits Chinese Nyonya Restaurant (Esplanade) on a Friday, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! From the very start, the planning process was incredibly smooth. Kelvin, the manager, was extremely responsive and helpful throughout, which gave us a lot of confidence leading up to the big day. The team was also flexible in arranging a reasonable payment schedule, and even offered discounted rates for our food tasting session beforehand – which we really appreciated. Additionally we had some relatives who were vegetarian and Muslims and Kevin ensured that they did not missed out as well! We chose this restaurant for several reasons: The food was delicious – flavourful but not overly oily or salty. We were able to share our preferences and the kitchen tailored the buffet menu accordingly. There was a great variety of dishes, and two big crowd favourites were the durian pengat and dry laksa! Convenient location – just a short, fully sheltered walk from both MRT and bus stops. As a bonus, the ROM registry was just upstairs, which made things very convenient for getting our certificate printed right before the event! The traditional Peranakan interior was beautifully maintained, perfect for colourful photos and something that our older family members really enjoyed. On the actual day, the team was on the ball and very responsive. Guests got their food and drinks promptly, the AV setup was a breeze, and the team was proactive in helping with logistics throughout. They even arranged carpark tickets for us as requested. We received so much positive feedback from our guests, and honestly, we have no regrets celebrating our wedding here. The atmosphere was comfortable, casual, and relaxed – perfect for a meaningful celebration with our loved ones. Thank you again to Kelvin and the team at Straits Nyonya! We’ll definitely be back for more yummy food soon. 😊

We held our wedding dinner here! Thank you Kevin for being very responsive and helpful for all the arrangements leading up to the wedding dinner, especially with different dietary requirements. The staff were also very friendly and nice. The Peranakan food was delicious and authentic, and the dessert buffet table received very well by our guests, overall all our guests had a really good time! Highly recommended!!!

We recently hosted our wedding tea ceremony and buffet dinner at Straits Chinese on 27 Jan and we cannot express enough my gratitude to the team for how smoothly it went. As we weren’t sure how many guests we were going to have at first, we were drawn to Straits Chinese for their ability to configure the space to suit different number of guests. We visited the restaurant for lunch and really enjoyed the food so it became an easy decision for us :) Kevin and Peixuan, who we liaised with, were incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the entire process from the time we reached out 6 months ago. They provided us with a detailed proposal that gave us a clear understanding of what to expect on the actual day. During the evening, Chef Yap personally came out to check in and ensure that everything was going smoothly and it made us feel well taken care of. Everyone gave really good reviews for the food, especially the Fried Laksa, which Chef Yap topped up upon recognising its popularity. The whole experience made us feel at ease, allowing us to host our families without any worries at all! A big thank you to Chef Yap, Kevin, Peixuan and the team at Straits Chinese for such a wonderful evening! :)

Straits Chinese Nonya Restaurant holds a special place in our hearts as my wife and I met here during an event. We have decided to host our recent wedding lunch there and it was a delight! The Peranakan Chinese decor and the red batik tablecloth added a lovely touch, and the authentic Nonya dishes were adored by all our wedding guests. Highly recommended for weddings and events as it has good service and delicious Nonya cuisine that make it a standout venue!

My husband and I hosted our wedding at their outlet in Esplanade Mall. Kevin and Pei Xuan was accommodating and open to our ideas and questions from the start to the end of our wedding ceremony. Guests enjoyed the food and even mentioned that the place is cosy and unique. We never regret choosing this place for our wedding ❤️ Thank you to Kevin, Pei Xuan and every staff that worked hard for our wedding! 👍🏻
