‘Ah-ma-kase’
We enjoyed our dinner here. It was our first time trying Peranakan cuisine and we ordered the tasting menu. As Chinese diners, we recognized the flavors of the ingredients, but they were combined in ways that were unfamiliar to us, making the taste b
Two Stars, Two Experiences
The restaurant offers refined Peranakan cuisine by Chef Malcolm Lee. While Pangium delivers a Michelin-starred experience with an elegant atmosphere, my heart still leans toward his first restaurant, Candlenut, which also holds a Michelin star. For m
A delightful dining experience!
Came here to celebrate my birthday and all 3 of us had the tasting menus which comprises 14 tasting portions of their entire menu. Our favorite dishes were the Kueh Pie Tee, Fish Maw Soup, Wing Bean Salad, Blue Swimmer Crab curry and Chendol for dess
Service was excellent with good recommendations and
Service was excellent with good recommendations and descriptions from the server. Food came at a good time. Everything was tasty. We went a la cart instead of the ah-mah-kase tasting as it gave bigger portions. All their dishes were very tasty and
superb experience
outstanding meal and experience - the starters were fine bar perhaps the soup which whilst good was unexceptional. the mains were superb with a delightful fish curry and squid. The service was friendly and prompt perhaps more time between courses wo
Not at a Michelin starred level for food and service
Not a Michelin service and food is just average. I was here before covid time and after covid time several times. The visit yesterday was a bad experience. Food were just average. The staff are not knowledgeable and absolutely not at a level of one s

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A wonderful modern Peranakan dining experience at Candlenut Located in the Dempsey area, Candlenut offers a refined take on Peranakan cuisine in a lovely setting. Parking is relatively easy, which is a bonus in this part of town
Great Restaurant! But Maybe not a Michelin…
The restaurant was overall incredible with great dishes, attentive service, and an elegant atmosphere. However, I would hesitate to place this restaurant as Michelin-quality, since we found the presentation of the Beef Rendang and pork to be lacking,
a wonderful experience with new culinary discoveries
6 of us went and sat outside. We had never had perankan food and so weren't familiar but it was great. a mix of all the cuisines that have influenced singapore from its roots no dishes were familiar but they were all really tasty - lots of seaf
Well deserved Michelin star rating
Incredible food!! Wing bean salad and Bakwan Kepiting Soup for starters, followed by beef rendang, crab curry, and the Buah Keluak Fried Rice. All the dishes were amazing, and my favourite would be the beef rendang. Easily the best beef rendang I
Good introduction to a unique S E Asian cuisine
Peranakan food is unique to the region, being a cross of Malay and Chinese with some very unusual combinations of ingredients. Candlenut is one such ingredient, and it is made easy to handle in the dishes on offer here. There are many spices and som

Fantastic unique food and service
Really special food - traditional fusion of Malay and Chinese. Many of the dishes were incredible and new to us. All so perfectly done. We had a lot of food in Singapore, some great, some terrible, and this was by far the best. We had the tasting men
Exquisite but unpretentious food, service and atmosphere.
Recommend as a must visit experience on impeccable quality of food, service and atmosphere. I ordered the “Ah-ma-kase” tasting menu and would highly recommend this option if you want to experience the full and diverse spectrum of the restaurant

For my birthday we took a trip to Singapore and on the special day My husband made a reservation at Candlenut. We had spent the morning at the nearby Orchid Gardens and walked over to candle nut for lunch. The restaurant itself is nestled in a plaza
Lovely
Great restaurant. Lovely setting, attentive staff, kindly catered to our dietary requirements. Chicken curry was a highlight
Lunch and the location both fantastic.
Never disappoints at Candlenut. Staff attentive and the food is gorgeous in a beautiful setting. We will definitely be back again.

Amazing flavor
Absolutely amazing food. It was fantastic and delicious. Service was very good. The location is a little bit outside of the downtown area- not easily accessible by public transit, but a taxi is only about $10-15 usd from the city center. Highly r
Memorable Peranakan dinning experience
Went there for Peranakan dining experience. The service is exemplary, with attentive staff ensuring a pleasant meal. Convenient parking adds to the ease of access. The food is undeniably delicious, with authentic flavors that tantalize the taste bud
Stunning, excellent, scrumptious.
Food was excellent. Service was good as well. Interior decorations were cute. Amazingly priced for the quality.
Fine dining restaurant that was good but not great
Fine dining restaurant that has option of tasting menu or a la carte. I went with option 2 and ordered crab omelette and chicken curry. Presentation. Was great and food was good but felt didn’t live up to the hype. Restaurant has great ambience.
Brilliant - as always.
As always the food and service was impeccable.Only downside - people wearing flip flops. Come on folks, we can do better than that!
Everything about Candlenut was outstanding.
5 stars isn't enough. The entire staff was exceptional. My sister and I had the extraordinary Felix take care of us, who went above and beyond his service of us! Hats off to Chef -- amazing food! Our experience at Candlenut was phenomenal. Thank you
Enjoyable first experience of peranakan cooking
We had a very enjoyable evening in this Michelin guide restaurant sampling peranakan cuisine for the first time, a wonderful fusion of Malaysian , Indonesian and Chinese cooking. The restaurant had a relaxed vibe and with friendly and attentive staf
Unique and one of its kind for Michelin level peranakan food. Great for visitors who love SE Asian cuisine.
A very special and unique dining experience. Excellent service from staff who are passionate about peranakan cuisine. We learnt loads about the flavours and cooking styles. My parents (who used to live in Asia) loved every moment and the staff were
Exceptional, memorable meal
Everything was divine, the drinks, the food and the service. Will be dreaming of the wingbean salad, auntys chicken curry, ramen and desserts until our next visit. Our friends had recommended Candlenut to us and we are so glad we booked in advance a

Great dinner
We had dinner here. A truly enjoyable experience. A cuisine we had not eaten before presented in many small dishes to share at a reasonable price and with very friendly and swift service. Not all dishes necessarily hit the mark but the blue swimmer

Good Peranakan Food!
A very nice experience for my family and I. The food and service were good. The food portions were a bit small but nontheless, it was enough for 4 of us. The chefs have brought a twist to Peranakan food. The desserts are to die for.
Disappointing and Disappointment
Dinner was disappointing. I attended dinner with a few American guests who are visiting Singapore for the first time. A morning tour at the shop houses of Emerald Hills acted as a build up for Peranakan dishes so everyone was excited. All of us have
Oh my goodness.
Once I saw Candlenut's set menu while planning my trip, I knew I had to try it and it absolutely did not disappoint! I'm a little surprised to see how low the reviews are on Yelp but I personally thought it was worth every dollar of the ahmakase expe
Delicious and stylish
First visited pre Covid and loved this restaurant. So pleased to see everything is as good in 2023 as back in 2017. The chicken curry was mouthwatering as was the spicy fish and the refreshingly light yet tasty salads. Loved the welcoming service a
The food is an excellent intepretation of Singapore fusion.
Quality ingredients and an exciting and innovative experience. The waiting staff were excellent, explaining each dish with enthusiasm and great understanding. The venue is delightful and a great wine list. Very enjoyable evening.

Superb service and a nice way to try Peranakan food.
This was my first time trying cuisine so I will say I don't have too much to compare to. I tried the ah-ma-kase, and it was a great way to sample many different things. While the waitress assured me it was not a lot of food, it was, in fact, a lot o

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Candlenut Singapore at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Candlenut Singapore page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* CoolestCough45, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* CoolestCough45 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to CoolestCough45 for any questions Peter may have as CoolestCough45 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* CoolestCough45 now uses their connections at Candlenut Singapore to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If CoolestCough45 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, CoolestCough45 receives the $200 reward which is credited to CoolestCough45's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Candlenut Singapore!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
