My Spice Affair at Aperia Mall is a beloved halal restaurant that serves authentic Malay cuisine with a rich heritage dating back to the 1970s. Founded by Madam Selamah, who once operated a street warong hawker stall at Jalan Kayu and Seletar, the restaurant carries forward authentic Malacca recipes that have been perfected over decades.
The restaurant is MUIS Halal certified and takes pride in preparing all dishes using self-made pastes from a wide variety of spices, ensuring only quality ingredients make it to your plate. Located at 12 Kallang Avenue, #02-11, Aperia Mall, My Spice Affair has become particularly famous for their signature Nasi Ambeng, available in three generous sizes: Solo Ambeng (2), Premium Ambeng (8), and Jumbo Ambeng (0).
Beyond their renowned Nasi Ambeng, the restaurant offers Nasi Padang by day and serves various traditional Malay dishes including tender Mutton curry, flavorful Beef rendang, and their popular Ayam Penyet. Diners consistently praise the Biryani rice and the fantastic Sambal Goreng, though those with low spice tolerance should be prepared for robust, authentic flavours.
My Spice Affair represents the perfect blend of heritage and accessibility, bringing decades-old recipes to modern diners in a comfortable mall setting. It's an excellent choice for anyone craving genuine Malay cuisine prepared with traditional methods and authentic spices.
