Casa Bom Vento

Casa Bom Vento is a halal-certified restaurant that specializes in Eurasian and Peranakan cuisine, with its original location at 477 Joo Chiat Road, Singapore 427683, and currently operating as Casa Bom Vento Express in the Xin Tekka food hall near Rochor MRT. Managed by Lionel Chee and his wife Lyn, the establishment continues the culinary legacy that began in the 1980s when it was founded by a group of Eurasian businessmen. The restaurant is known for its unique blend of European dishes influenced by Portuguese, Dutch, and British culinary traditions, combined with elements from Malay, Indian, Chinese, and Nonya styles, creating a distinctive fusion cuisine that reflects Singapore's multicultural heritage.

The menu features signature dishes that showcase the restaurant's culinary expertise, including Debal Curry (a spicy dish made from leftover meats), Ayam Buah Keluak (rich chicken with unique nut-based gravy), Kachang Botol Salad, Itek Sio (braised duck), and Prawn Nanas with pineapple. The restaurant is particularly renowned for catering traditional Tok Panjang meals, which consist of over 40 dishes served in the traditional Malay banquet style, offering diners an authentic cultural and culinary experience. Each dish is prepared using time-honored recipes and techniques that preserve the complex flavors and textures characteristic of Eurasian-Peranakan cuisine.

After temporarily closing its original Joo Chiat location, Casa Bom Vento Express has successfully returned to serve customers in the Xin Tekka food hall, bringing its unique culinary offerings to a new generation of diners. The establishment's ability to maintain traditional recipes while adapting to modern dining preferences demonstrates the enduring appeal of Eurasian-Peranakan cuisine within Singapore's halal food scene. The restaurant's focus on preserving culinary heritage while maintaining halal certification has made it an important ambassador for Singapore's unique fusion cuisines.
