Peranakan cuisine, unique to Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia, is exceedingly challenging to find in New York, which is what makes dining at this spot from prolific restaurateur and chef Salil Mehta (Laut, Laut Singapura, Singlish, and Wau) so very special. Uniquely blending ingredients, techniques, and traditions from Malay, Indian, Indonesian, and Chinese cuisines, Peranakan food stands out for its bold, incredible flavors that you simply can’t get enough of. Pro tip: Don’t sleep on the kueh pie tee or the slow-braised pork belly.
