We are
back at The Peranakan to experience The Peranakan High Tea Set ($28 /
pax). This set combines the savoury and sweet dishes from the regular
menu. In total there will be up to to 14 dishes in the high tea set
with a choice of drink that include a pot of Malacca Tea, Coffee,
Lemongrass Tea or Pandan Tea.

The
highlights of our high tea session are:
The
signature Mee Siam is definitely a must try. Although I am not a mee
siam fan, I can recognise the version here is very solid. It is
filled with spices and has the right balance of spiciness and
tanginess that will open up your appetite to go about the rest of the
dishes. Best to consume it when it's hot.

Nasi Ulam
Istimewa was one of my favourite dish during our last visit and it
remain the same. (Check
out the full review from our last visit here).
The Satay Babi Sum Chan got an upgrade here, where it is wrapped in
buns. The portion of the meat and bun is perfect fit. The satay gravy
is well-absorbed by the soft pillowy white bun, plus the pork belly
just melts in your mouth.

Kueh Pie
Ti was served earlier as snacks, but it is normally part of high tea.
Crispy cup filled with well braised turnip and condiments. You have
the option to add the chilli, but I give it a miss.

For the
sweet stuff, Pulot Inti Durian & Pulot Inti Kelapa remain my
favourites. The combination of glutinous rice with the richness of
coconut milk and fillings never fails to entice my appetite. The
durian paste here is velvety and smooth, without being ridiculously
pungent.

The Toast
and Durian paste also will give you another shot to fulfill your
durian cravings.
Completing
the offerings for high tea are Toast Hay Bee Hiam, Ngoh Hiang Pork,
Pisang Goreng, Kuih Kosui (Kueh Ko Swee), Pineapple Tart and Love
Letter. Please note that the menu on the high tea will be rotated
daily.
In case
you are wondering if the portion is definitely sufficient as we all
struggle to finish all the food. Portion for 6 pax and there are six
of us.
