Candlenut

Great experience! True to a Michelin starred location. Can’t say I love the decor. But it was simple and spacious. We were well taken care of by the lovely staff there. Love it that we were introduced to the staff by their name. The food was phenomenal with tiny bites for starters and satisfying mains in a communal setting. Very glad that the staff helped us work out a reasonable solution so that the portions work out for us. Thanks!

My experience, It was my first time to try Peranakan cuisine and to visit this place. Food was spectacularly delicious! Celebrate a surprised birthday dinner for my best friend. The service was great, warm, friendly and attentive staffs. We was served by Mr Felix and he done a great job! (Thank you uncle Felix for making our dinner a meaningful one 🙏) and also to Chef Malcolm! Everything was perfect! This place is highly recommended guys!

My BEST All-Around Meal of 2021. Candlenut is the place to be for authentic and simply classy cuisine. Not pretentious, every dish is straight to the point yet filled with a variety of complex flavours. Would normally recommend some dishes specifically, but Candlenut calls for a try-everything approach. Getting the multi-course set would be splendid. You won't go wrong.

The entire experience here was fantastic, from our awesome server Arvin, who provided attentive and friendly service, to the amazing Peranakan cuisine! The tasting menu was more than enough food, and provided a great selection of different flavours. Will be making this a must visit for my trips to Singapore.

It's our wedding anniversary today and we decided to try a new cuisine (Peranakan). I made a reservation for lunch here and honestly, i made the right choice. First of all, the staffs were attentive and warm. They always check on you and how was the food. We opted for the February tasting menu so we can have a taste of the dishes as many as possible 😍. From appetizers to mains to dessert, all were well served and couldnt get over taking photos 😁. Each dish was with unique taste and brings back old memories (for me). The taste lingers in your mouth. Their serving was enough for 2. Initially when I think of tasting menu, i expect that the portion will not make me full but in Candlenut, you will start to feel full at the middle of the mains. And talk about the worth of your money, i wouldn't say it's pricey with the quality of food they serve. The place was clean and nice deco (instagrammable 🤩). I highly recommend Candlenut for special occasions, dates, family gatherings, and even when you have guests from other countries. A must try! I will definitely be back here to try other dishes.

This restaurant feels close to the heart. I have dined here some years ago when they first gained their Michelin star and had it in good memories so I had to revisit eventually. Here is what I can say: The two of us opted for the "Taste of Candlenut" tasting menu. We were presented with three flights of dishes, following a starters/mains/desserts logic. Each flight, for the lack of a better wording, consisted of several small plates, so in total this adds up to quite a number of individual dishes. Which is great, as the food here is just phantastic. It's genuine, sincere and heartwarming and at the same time forward looking and cosmopolitan. I wish more chefs would have the vision to combine culinary heritage with contemporary gastronomy in such a meaningful way as it is done here. We opted for non alcoholic beverages and there is a decent selection of mocktails and teas to choose from. On any other night I´d go with their selection of craft beers which must pair well with the at times spicy dishes. The staff we interacted with was lovely and clearly enthusiastic about the restaurant and cuisine, which made dinner here even more enjoyable.

Damn awesome dinner place. We had the set meal. The service was so good. They were very quick to attend to all our needs and they were very polite too! I'm impressed with the way they treat their customers! We left some beef that we couldn't finish and even though it is only 3 small pieces, they still packed in nicely in a paper bag for us(: The food was delicious. We can food of all flavours, it was very satisfying! My favourite dish of the night has to be the mussel, it is from France and served with tempeh. Awesome! I love the duck soup too! Every dish is a mini surprise in terms of favour. It is very homey. Will be back again(:
