$8 for $30 F&B Voucher at Dulukala Peranakan Restaurant

What’s more elusive than a four leaf clover, a vegan lion and original movie scripts from Hollywood? Look no further for pure gastronomy nirvana with today’s Groupon: $8 for $30 F&B Voucher at Dulukala Peranakan Restaurant.

Rooted at the 4^th level of Beauty World Shopping Centre which is known to be the ION of our parents’ time, the Dulukala Peranakan Restaurant is an 11 years old food establishment revered by fans of Peranakan cuisine. It’s a family run affair in the kitchen with none of the superfluous attention paid to the décor. The only ornaments you may encounter are the local celebrities who have come to seek anonymity and of course, swell Peranakan food.

The owner  firmly believes that tummy-satisfying food is the important issue at hand. The Beef Rendang ($8) is simmered in thick coconut gravy and be prepared to pig out when the plate of Babi Pongteh ($6.50) is served. Many have sworn that its Ayam Buah Keluak ($9.50) is the best in Singapore and some say Batam as well. For white meat and seafood lovers, scan the menu for the deliciously dark Sotong Hitam ($7.50) and spiced-induced Assam Fish dishes ($12-$14). Keep a little corner of your stomach for a portion of their homemade Chendol ($2.50) or colourful Bubur Chacha ($2.50), a lovely bowl of floating tapioca and yam cubes in coconut soup.

Do yourself a favour, skip the theatres and cruise down to Upper Bukit Timah for authentic Peranakan Cuisine for less than a movie ticket price!
