Dining at Chef Simon and Jeanette’s home is less a meal and more a quietly elegant cultural experience. From the moment you step through the door, the house itself sets the tone – warm, lived-in, and deeply personal. Their lovely dog Guinness only adds to the feeling that you’ve been welcomed not into a restaurant, but into a real home. It is the sort of place where stories, heritage, and hospitality naturally gather around the table.

Jeanette receives her guests with effortless warmth and grace, making everyone feel immediately at ease. Chef Simon’s cooking, meanwhile, reflects both mastery and deep respect for his Peranakan roots. Each dish carries the layered complexity the cuisine is known for – bold yet beautifully balanced, nostalgic yet refined. You sense that these are recipes shaped by memory, tradition, and a genuine love for the craft.

What makes the evening particularly special is how naturally everything comes together – the home, the conversation, the cooking, and the gentle attentiveness of the hosts. It feels almost like being invited into a cherished family gathering, where culture is not displayed but simply lived.

A rare and thoughtful dining experience. One leaves not only well fed, but quietly reminded that the most memorable meals are those served with heart, heritage, and a generous welcome. ✨

Am really impressed with the cozy ambience and tasteful decor of the house .Chef is very nice and friendly making us feel welcome. Food was equally impressive! All the dishes were nicely plated and executed with perfection not to mention that they were all served with beautiful peranakan wares enhancing a truly peranakan experience! I especially love Chef Simon’s Kueh Pie Tie, Bakwan Kepingting and Sayur Lodeh. Highly recommended!
