Enjoy the latest Lobby Lounge Peranakan cuisine offering! In celebration of the Straits area’s rich heritage, this luxury hotel dining destination invites guests to discover the authentic tastes through a series of beloved Peranakan, embarking on a yearlong Peranakan exploration. Curated to honour InterContinental Singapore’s storied history and its prime location within the arts and cultural district, ‘A Peranakan Journey’ offers a sophisticated exploration of iconic dishes, reinterpreted with timeless elegance.
A harmonious fusion of Chinese, Malay, and Indonesian culinary traditions, this cuisine is a distinctive culinary art that blends the aromatic herbs and spices of Southeast Asia with the refined techniques of Chinese cooking, resulting in an extraordinary gastronomic experience steeped in history and tradition.
A Peranakan Journey kickstarted in February with the beloved Beef Rendang Tingkat Set. The opulent and aromatic Nyonya coconut beef stew features tender Australian bone-in short rib, meticulously slow-cooked and braised in a luscious blend of coconut milk and an exquisite medley of spices. Accompanying the Beef Rendang are Chap Chye, fragrant coconut rice, and Achar, a medley of pickled vegetables, all elegantly presented in the traditional ‘tingkat’ style.

Encapsulating the heart and soul of Peranakan cuisine, The Lobby Lounge presents the treasured Babi Pongteh in April, a quintessential Nyonya-style braised pork dish. The indulgent creation features tender, slow-cooked Kurobuta pork belly, shiitake mushrooms, and taucu – fermented yellow soybean paste – infused with rich, savoury flavours.
Featuring another celebrated dish in Peranakan cuisine in June is the iconic Ayam Buah Keluak, a culinary masterpiece showcasing bold and intricate flavours. This dish features a tender bone-in chicken leg, slow-braised in a rich, velvety gravy infused with a blend of tamarind, homemade sambal belacan, and a medley of aromatic spices. The signature Buah Keluak, known for its earthy and nutty essence, is stir-fried until fragrant, adding depth to the dish. This timeless classic offers a harmonious and indulgent taste of Peranakan heritage.
The highly popular Nyonya Popiah, reimagined by The Lobby Lounge’s culinary team is launching in July. This exquisite creation is wrapped in a delicate, spring roll skin, offering a soft and velvety texture. Inside, a generous and harmonious filling awaits – succulent tiger prawns, savoury Lap Cheong (Chinese pork sausage), sweet and tender turnip, and crisp lettuce come together in a perfect symphony of flavours and textures. The dish is elegantly complemented by a rich, sweet soy sauce and chilli, delivering a refined twist on this beloved Peranakan classic.
With each thoughtfully crafted dish, guests are invited to savour the harmonious blend of cultures, flavours, and traditions that define Peranakan heritage. From intricate techniques to the use of premium ingredients, A Peranakan Journey is more than just a dining experience – it is a tribute to the vibrant legacy of the Peranakan community, brought to life in the elegant ambiance of the stunning lobby dining venue
