Candlenut

Peranakan restaurant by chef-owner Malcolm Lee at 17A Dempsey Road inside COMO Dempsey, the world’s first Michelin-starred Peranakan kitchen since the inaugural Singapore guide in 2016 and still one star in the 2025 selection. Expect communal à la carte and a rotating tasting menu built on Straits-Chinese spice pastes and family technique. Book through COMO Dempsey or Candlenut channels, take a taxi or Grab to Dempsey rather than relying on MRT, and confirm current menu prices and dietary limits before you sit a multi-generational table.
