PeraMakan @ Keppel Club

On Monday, colleagues at work treated one colleague to a birthday lunch. It was already decided the week before that we will go to PeraMakan, since some people wanted to try the food at this place.

So what did we eat? Quite a lot actually! We had 6 of us and we these dishes.
The Beef Rendang. It was quite tender and flavourful.



The Ayam Buah Keluak. I think this is an acquired taste dish, either you like the taste of it or you totally hate it.

I will eat it, but I can't say I totally appreciate it. LOL



The Cincalok Egg. For cincalok fans. This time it is not so salty ;-)



The sambal kangkong. The usual favourite.



The otak otak. Lots of ingredients in it.



The BBQ sotong. I think I like this the best. Sotong's still so tender and the sauce is delicious.



The Babi Ponteh. We all like this dish too.



What's this? It's jantung pisang salad. Jantung Pisang is the banana flower. It had some prawn on top, and that's not cream. It's coconut milk. Something unique.

I always get this question: Do we need to be a club member to dine here? No, the restaurant is open to the public. :-)

PeraMakan @ Keppel Club (Desserts)

Let's continue with the desserts. I shall try creative writing today OK?

Some people love it, some hate it. It's the Durian Penget. Oh the stink that fills the air when the dessert was served. (You can guess which side of the fence I am on) Half the table felt the most pleasant aroma filling the room, half the table was gasping for air.

Hey, pure D24, gula melaka, coconut milk proclaimed the staff who took our orders. We are proud of it, people are coming back because they know it's the real stuff.

Humans were born good, but when they discovered Durians, they fell. They were devouring and hunting for durians, their aim in life is all about durians. They cared about nothing else. The angels watched in disgust as humans put that nasty stuff in their mouths, feeding their addiction to satisfy their human lust.



A secret battle was raging. Durians loving humans verses anti durian angels. Who will win?

The angels were thinking of ways to win back the fallen humans. The angels presented the Chendol. The generous golden brown gula melaka on the smooth shaven ice is to lure humans back and turn away from evil. Come back prodigal son, come back.



The layers of treasure below, red beans, green neon looking strings of cendol, rich virgin press coconut milk. Will humans repent?



Stirring the mixture, the treasure floats up. A spoonful of this is fed to humans. They immediately felt the sweetness of the gula melaka blending in smoothly with the coconut milk with ice shavings, chendol and red beans. Their warm mouth cools instantly. Their throat being lubricated with chilled coconut milk. The humans shows signs of turning back.



The angels was scheming lot. The angels know they need to warm the human hearts. So they ordered warm desserts. The secret weapon: Bubur Terigu. They say wheat is addictive. Wheat made into all kinds of food makes human addicted. Wheat in gula melaka and coconut milk will surely do the trick!



Never mind it looks pretty plain. The angels just need to put one scoop of this into the human's mouth! It worked! The humans after tasted this, kept asking for more. The angels could see that the humans became quite emotional. Food like this invoke memories of their childhood. Their parents bringing back a metal container of terigu, the children eagerly looking at their mum scooping into their rooster design porcelain bowls, making sure every bowl has the exact quantity of the bubur. Hoping the last scoop goes into their bowl. Angels saw that the human almost saw tears coming out.



Aha! The humans are becoming emotional. They are most vulnerable at this moment. The angels knew they need to fuel the emotions. They served the humans Pulut Hitam. Black glutinous rice in gula melaka and coconut milk.



Giving it a few gentle stir, the bowl of dark purplish and white liquid on top transform itself into a light purple mixture. (pardon the yellow lighting)

Aha. This stuff is potent! The warm mixture will definitely get them addicted to it. The taste of gula melaka and coconut milk must be a lethal combination that can get many people hooked. (even angels get hooked to this stuff) Forget drugs. Human gluttons get hooked to good food! The small bits of the glutinous rice gives it some bite that massages their tongue too. Almost there.....



Oh no. The humans had earlier ordered durian puffs and it arrived just when we thought we could win them over. Looks like the angels lost to puffs filled with pure D24 ammo. When the humans ate it, the durians immediately blinded them. It was as if a thick veil that covered them from the truth and righteousness. They went back to living in sin and they indulge in earthly food orgies. What went wrong?!



Humans won, angels lost.

PeraMakan @ Keppel Club

We met up with other cousins and uncle and aunty for dinner on Saturday night. More food that sis has not tried. Peranakan Food. We met at PeraMakan at Keppel Club.



Somehow it started like an interrogation session to our sis future husband. LOL.
Anyway, that's private info, the public info is what we ate. haha...
Babi Ponteh. We always love this. So tender and flavoursome.



The Meat Rolls cubes. Oxymoron? Haha.. Meat rolls that has been cut into cubes lah...



Sotong Sambal. Lovely.



This is the seafood tofu dish. Everyone loves this, it was gone in a flash!



Sambal Kangkong. We were discussing, how to differentiate this with the usual sambal kangkong. It seems that if its peranakan, it always have dried shrimps (hae bee) on it. Is it true?

We like hae bee. (But we found out that our future BIL does not eat hae bee. )



The chicken dish. We love the way it is done. We slurped all the gravy away!



The beef rendang. Somehow this time it seems to be lacking something. (We think its salt!)



Only in May we were told. The fishhead curry.



This is the saltiest dish of the night. Cincalok Eggs.
Cincalok is salty, so this dish is naturally salty. Salty, but addictive!



One of the reason we came here was because of the dessert too.
Stay tuned for the desserts tomorrow!

PeraMakan @ Keppel Club (Part 2)

Continuation from yesterday's....

This is the Hee Peow Soup. Looks quite good eh. I forgot to try try sis and uncle's soup.



Cousin and Aunt shared the Bakwan Soup. Cousin dont like Bamboo shoots and said chemical taste, chemical taste. We told her that's bamboo, no small kids just refuse to listen to us.



I had Kiam Chai Ak. I have not had this for a long time! Yes, it was good and thick.



Before the meal, we all had this, lemon and aloe vera. Very refreshing.



Now, after dinner, we were all so stuffed, but we got tempted by the next table who was having desserts!

So, we shared a Chendol. Very thick Gula Melaka on top.



We were wondering how the Ice Kachang will look, so here it is..
Generous amounts of Ah Tap Chee below. I think it was 6-7 of it.



Cousin's favourite, Pulut Hitam. It was good, a bit on the sweetish side though.



We think we might go back again :-)

The Apom balik is suppose to be good, but we were told it will be a long wait because there's a big group of ladies having a tok panjang and ordered so may of it...

Happy Deepavali to friends who celebrate it tomorrow...

PeraMakan @ Keppel Club

Today's my sis' birthday. After work, uncle and aunt picked us up and we went to have a birthday dinner. Our cousin said, we are going to Kepo Club. Huh? Kepo? haha.. It is a joke to mean Keppel Club. haha..

PeraMakan used to be in Joo Chiat, but has recently moved here.



Anyway, here's what we had:
Beef Rendang. The beef is so soft and melts right in your mouth. Yum!



This is Penang Style Pork Ribs.
I love this best, I think I got soft spot for things cooked in Tau Jiu. Plus the meat is so so soft, it also melts in your mouth.



Sambal Ladies Finger.
My sis' likes it very much.



Sis also loves to have brinjals.
This is the Brinjal dish.



Cousin likes Assam Fish, so this is what she called.



Uncle loves Sotong Bakar, so this is his dish.



More pictures, but am very sleepy, shall continue tomorrow....
Effects of eating too much, you become too sleepy. Maybe because we ate second helping of rice, because we like all the sauces haha...
