At PeraMakan, every dish tells a story of tradition, family and the vibrant Peranakan heritage. Rooted in the rich heritage of Nyonya cuisine, our food is a celebration of generations who came before us. The word ‘makan’ means ‘to eat’ in Malay, and here at PeraMakan, it’s more than just a meal — it’s about coming together, sharing experiences, and honouring culture through every loving prepared dish.
Founded in 2004 by our Executive Chef Kathryn Ho, PeraMakan was born from a deep passion to preserve the heart and soul of Peranakan cooking. Our recipes are inspired by the same flavours that once filled the kitchens of our grandmothers — spicy, aromatic, and made with care. From the bold heat of our sambals to the tender richness of beef rendang and the comforting warmth of chap chye, each bite is both familiar and unforgettable.
We invite you to slow down, gather around the table, and enjoy a taste of heritage that feels like home.
