Old Bibik's Peranakan Kitchen

Old Bibik's Peranakan Kitchen is a pioneering halal-certified Peranakan restaurant located at 328 Joo Chiat Road, established since 2010 and recognized as probably the only halal Peranakan restaurant in Singapore. Situated amongst traditional Peranakan shophouses along the culturally rich Joo Chiat Road, the restaurant has gained recognition through features in major publications including The Straits Times, MyPaper, Channel U, TCS5, and Her World. The establishment maintains an old-school family-owned atmosphere with marble tables and wooden chairs that instantly makes diners feel at home. The restaurant specializes in authentic Nyonya dishes prepared using traditional methods without MSG or artificial flavoring. Each dish is painstakingly prepared using aromatic herbs and spices including lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, tamarind, turmeric, belacan, and coconut milk, ensuring authentic Peranakan flavors while maintaining halal standards. Their commitment to traditional preparation methods preserves the cultural heritage of Peranakan cuisine while making it accessible to Muslim diners who previously had limited access to this important aspect of Singapore's culinary culture. Old Bibik's offers comprehensive services including catering for corporate groups, schools, tour groups, walk-ins, and bento delivery with 48-hour advance notice. The restaurant successfully bridges the gap between cultural preservation and religious dietary requirements, allowing Muslim families and visitors to experience authentic Peranakan heritage cuisine without compromising their beliefs, making it an essential destination for cultural food exploration in Singapore.
