Chilli Padi Nonya Restaurant is a Peranakan restaurant in Singapore serving traditional Nonya dishes along Joo Chiat Place. Our kitchen prepares classics meant for sharing, including ayam buah keluak, spiced beef rendang, sotong hitam, and kueh pie tee. In the afternoons, we also offer a Peranakan high tea set featuring a spread of sweet and savory items.
Tried the Peranakan High Tea set for two. A nice change from the usual afternoon tea featuring a selection of savoury bites and sweet treats inspired by Peranakan flavours. There was a good variety to enjoy, making it a nice option for an afternoon catchup with friends or a weekend date.

I had dinner here with a few friends and honestly, it was a pretty good time. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share, which is really the way to go at this place. My favorite was the ayam buah keluak. It was super rich and flavorful, with tender chicken and that special buah keluak taste. The beef rendang was tasty too, especially with all the sauce and spices. The sotong hitam was another winner- really soft and packed with flavor. We also tried the kueh pie tee and some veggies, which were nice to have on the table. The restaurant feels cozy and casual, but it can get a bit loud when it's busy. Service was fast and the staff were friendly. If you're looking for solid Peranakan or Nyonya food that isn't too fancy, this is a great spot. I'd definitely come back to try more dishes.

Love our experience here. The beef rendang is tender and spices just right, chicken bush keluak one of the best we have eaten. The ikan bilis and petai is yummy cos the ikan bilis is crunchy and petai is just right.

Have dinner at the restaurant. We went on monday around 6 plus, walk in and thankfully manage to get a table and more customer came in later.
We had a few of the recommended dishes and we love the ayam buah keluak the most. The sotong hitam is nice, the chap chai can give it a miss. Salty veg duck soup, missing the saltiness from the salty veg.
The dry laksa is quite a fusion. Dessert is a hit and miss.
Must try the ayam buah keluak which I find is the better one.

We have been regular customers of Chili Padi Nonya since we discovered this excellent restaurant for more than a year now.
Our staple Dry Laksa and Honey Belachan Chicken Wings are consistently flavorful. Kueh Pie Ti and Sambal Lady Fingers are addition to veggie quick bites. We ordered Ikan Assam Fish, Deep Fried Chicken, Tahu Goreng and Nonya Achar - all excellent.
The service is really fast. Sarah and Shiela know us already and have been providing great hospitality to us and our extended families.
We always love to bring our guests here during lunch and dinner.
