    Each time I past by this area, I will tell myself to visit this restaurant because of the unique decoration at the main door. It really look good from outside.

    I went with my friend on one saturday evening. The ambience was nice and everything was fine except that it took quite a long while before I was attended to.

    I heard about this restaurant and was told the food was nice and therefore I was prepared to wait especially on the weekend.

    Either my expectation was too high or I did not order the right type of Peranakan food, I find the food here not better than any other normal restaurant. Maybe I should come with a Peranakan next time.

      The attractive exterior design of this restaurant attracted me to give it a try. It was their peak period with quite a large crowd. We were lucky to have a table for two without having to wait even there is a long queue at the door.

      After deciding what to order, I looked and waved around hoping to catch the attention of one of the waitresses. But it took a long time before they attend to us. Can't really blame them right, it's the peak hour. Nonetheless, I couldn't wait for my food to be served as the food from neighbouring tables looked really good!

      After taking our orders, it was only quite some time later did I realize that my food was taking awfully long to come. Even customers that came later than us had their drinks served already. So I called for the waitress to hurry them. The moment I did so, all my dishes came!

      I was quite unhappy with the fact that they almost forgot our order. I understand that it was the peak hour, but if they could remember other people's order, why not mine?

      After waiting for so long, I thought "OK! Time to eat!!" But to my disappointment, the food wasn't that good. The famous Peranakan Ayam Bua Kuluak had a distinct sour flavour which covered the original taste of the chicken; the Beef rendang was full of fats and there was virtually only half a pot of meet.

      So much for all the "suspension" in there, I don't think I'll go back there again..

        Situated in Joo Chiat, Chilli Padi has its own crowd of followers for Peranakan Food. The Ayam Bua Keluak and Babi Pong Teh are just fantastically homely. Just the right taste and aroma. With the gravy, you just seem to consume plate after plate of rice. Ambience is cosy and can be a bit brighter. Come early to avoid the dinner crowd.
