Our Makan Kaki Chef Melvyn Lee takes us to visit Guan Hoe Soon, Singapore's Oldest Peranakan restaurant. But did you know it has Hainanese roots? Founded in 1953 by Yap Chee Quee, the restaurant is still family owned and run.

For my next food adventure delving into Singapore’s delicious history, my sights were set on Kampong Gelam, an area renowned for its many nasi padang restaurants.

A popular choice for time-crunched Singaporeans in need of a satisfying meal, n asi padang may be is a quick and convenient meal for diners, but it begins with long hours of preparation and cooking.

At nasi padang stalwart Sabar Menanti, the laborious commitment is anchored by a strong dedication to preserving their family’s culinary legacy. It was a happy coincidence then that my colleague and fellow foodie, Class 95 producer-presenter Catherine Robert is a friend of the third-generation owner, Iszahar Tambunan.

Listen now for beef rendang, ayam bakar and the story behind their unique name!
