Singapore Food Festival 2009 - Peranakan Food & Culture

It's so glad after I know the theme of the Singapore Food Festival this year is Peranakan Food and Culture. I can't deny that I like the nonya food so much, like babi pongteh, itek tim, bakwan kepiting, itek sioh, udang nanas, ayam buah keluak and don't forget the colourful kuih-buih (Malay word, means a lot of 'kuihs'). Ah, what?!! you know none of the dishes I mention. But.... but... all of these are signature dishes of Peranakan food. Hmm... It's quite pity that if you didn't try before.

You might say" Well... But I don't know which restaurant is authentic and what to order? it's so expensive to try something which I am not familiar with."
