What visitors say
★★★★★“Fairly new restaurant in Orchards. Chef is a popular figure in Singapore and if you want to taste a fusion Malaysian dishes that are modernized, this is a good restaurant to try. Atmosphere is decent, modern. The level of service will vary depending on server, but generally very friendly and kind to customers. I think we had one order that didn't register in on time so we had to ask the server to double check. Came to find out one order didn't get in. So we ended up stopping the meal and wait for the last dish to be made (took only 7 mins so it wasn't the worst). I think it would be good for the servers to be more attentive to all customers in general. They were super kind though. The food quality was good! I would come back here again.”
★★★★★“The food is da bomb! Get the recommended ayam buah keluak. No regrets! I tried the sayur Kang Kong and the Assam fish. So shiok coz the chef didn't dumb down the 🌶️ level, and it's the Msian level of spiciness that I love! Belacan in the Kang Kong is super authentic. Nogh hiang is pretty nice.. different from your usual flair. Kueh pie tee... not bad but can give it a miss. Am I coming back? Hell yes! 👍👍👍”
★★★★★“Very nice Peranakan food in Orchard Gateway. We ordered set for 4 and everyone overeat. Delicious wagyu rendang and chapchye and Ayam buat keluK and the grilled sotong were all yummy. We finished the meal with panne cotta and chendol dessert. Yummy and over ate!”
★★★★★“Authentic Peranakan food. Impeccable service. Lovely place to meet up. This is my second time here. The first time, I was impressed by the food. So this second time, I bought my overseas Singaporean friend who misses Peranakan food, to Bonding Kitchen. And I’m going back here the third time in April for another lunch appointment. I love the food so much.”
