Candlenut Singapore Reviews from The Last Year
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 staff. We were not hungry enough to attempt the multicouse ah mah kase menu so opted for 2 starters of Ngoh Hiang and Pork Satay from the à la carte and these were delicious. Then we had two mains of Chefs Mum’s chicken curry and Beef Rendang and these were superb. Pricing for these dishes was reasonable but entry level wine is expensive at $110 Overall highly recommended although about 30 mins taxi ride from central Singapore
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 super kind and attentive to them in particular. Massively recommended if you are looking for something a little different but authentic.
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 as it is the best restaurant we’ve had the pleasure of dining at in Singapore. As frequent visitors to Singapore we have visited quite a few.
Dined a la carte at Candlenut, the first Michelin starred
Dined a la carte at Candlenut, the first Michelin starred Peranakan restaurant. Experience was pretty good - the ambient lighting from the straw lanterns was a nice touch. Seating was in a shared space with other restaurants - the plus side was it felt really open and inviting. Menu was definitely flavor rich - the highlights were the crab omelette and the crab curry. The omelette was fluffy and light but retained the delicate crab flavoring and the curry was loaded with fragrant spices. Recommend you to make a reservation if dining on weekends but there were plenty of seating so walk-ins may not be an issue.
Such a lovely experience for elevated Peranakan at
Such a lovely experience for elevated Peranakan at Candlenut! We booked dinner here and ordered the ahmakase which is a set course menu served family style. The food here is feels homey and modern at the same time with unique touches on traditional dishes. Some standouts included the lobster kueh pie which was an explosion of flavor, the wagyu satay beef and the crab curry. Everything was delicious and perfectly cooked and. I'd definitely recommend Candlenut to anyone visiting Singapore wanting to get a taste of Peranakan cuisine in an upscale setting. Everything from the ambiance to food to service was exceptional!
Splendid Service
Splendid service! I was there, by myself, at the end of the lunch service just before the staff went off to their Christmas party. ... and still the staff were wonderful, attentive without being intrusive, clearly passionate about the food and the experience. Making sure that everyone felt welcome - even a solo Ozzie there at an inconvenient time. The food was good too. Varied, flavourful and full of subtlety. A Michelin starred restaurant specialising in the local cuisine. Well worth a visit for that alone. But I have eaten in a lot of top class restaurants - and this time I will remember the staff and how dedicated they were to the experience long after the memory of the food has blurred. The staff we simply outstanding.
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 crab curry was awesome and when we told the waiter we are crazy about this dish, he brought us another helping. Great service. Impressive wine menu. Only point of critique was that so many different dishes were brought out at the same time that they got cold before we ate them all. Plate warmers would have helped. Also, the dishes were mixed in terms of fish/meat and spices and flavours that it was really difficult to find a matching wine. You almost had to have a red and a white on your table at the same time to drink with the changing dishes.
Came by for dinner the other night and it was a tasty
Came by for dinner the other night and it was a tasty experience. Candlenut is a Michelin 1 star Peranaken cuisine located on Dempey Rd with a bus stop right in front of the community. Parking is plentiful and there are numerous exotic European vehicles in the parking lot. The restaurant itself was a touch hard to find although buildings were marked and there was signage outside each venue. Once inside, the restaurant appears to be connected to the other restaurants next to it with no physical barriers besides random furnishings. A significant portion of the clientele appeared to be foreigners. Service throughout the evening was top notch with the waiter taking care to explain each and every dish. There were also very minute service details that I was surprised that the service staff were able to catch on to, including addressing me by name. Opted for the tasting menu and it was a huge feast. The appetizers were perfect small bites although I found it odd that some of the pieces were merely lukewarm... The soup course was tasty, although having a big bowl of hot soup in humid Singapore was a touch difficult. For the main courses, there were ~5 entrees where the flavors were vibrant and bold. Quality of ingredients were top tier including crab, fish, and pork jowl. Portions were gigantic and I was merely able to finish less than half! The desserts were generous as there were 3! Definitely different than typical desserts. I love that they weren't too sweet! $172 after GST & 10% service for dinner.
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 multiple prior Michelin Starred restaurant experiences so we know the benchmarks. Experience: Immediately after being seated , some of us felt that the A/C vent above our table was blowing too hard. The lanterns were swaying. One of the guests had a nice bare shoulder dress and had to switch seats. I had to inform our server about it and AC was turned down. Normal restaurant may be forgiven but not a Michelin one. Chairs have a rattan cheap feel , light weight and uncomfortable. One of us was bitten by a mosquito while eating. I understand that we are in Dempsey area but sheesh. I had to leave my seat and whisper to the server to turn up the AC again to hopefully remove the mosquito. The worst of all, there was a private event of some kind happening in the same hall blasting music, people yelling and dancing. I was so pissed and embarrassed for my overseas guests that I had to make excuses that maybe the food will speak for itself . Service Another disappointment. The older gentleman serving us can barely speak fluent English. No explanation of dishes and ingredients as you would typically find in an establishment of this stature. His compatriot was more knowledgeable but I had to prompt her into explaining what the Buah Keluak fruit is and how our Buah Keluak fried rice is made. There is no scraping of crumbs off table and serving of dishes have no coordination or purpose. The overall feel is no different from eating at any typical restaurant. Food We ordered anything that was recommended and almost everything on the menu. Besides the black colored Buah Keluak fried rice ( after my intentional prompt to fish a broken Singlish story out of the server to explain how the poisonous Buah Keluak is used to cook it) nothing stands out. In my opinion, the chicken in Mama’s curry should have been boneless and presented more beautifully. Our drumstick had gristle in it….which was a big turnoff. None of us enjoyed our dinner. Afterthought I find myself having to make excuses throughout the meal to defend my dinner choice and back the restaurant who fell flat to impress my guests. We only had time for 3 planned dinners in Singapore and this one failed us. We would understand if this were one of the Michelin cheap eats but our dinner bill doesn’t reflect that. I wished I had picked another location for a better experience.
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 experience. Pretty much every dish was delicious in my opinion, I only had critique for two - the salad needed more acid and the braised beef dish was a little tough. I also loved being introduced to Peranakan cuisine and Chef Malcolm certainly got his point across. Some dishes felt quite familiar actually because of the Chinese influence like the Pig Maw Soup which was milky and creamy from the pork bone broth and the Gula Melaka Fudge which reminded me of one of my favorite Chinese New Year dishes because of the heavy use of palm sugar which has a delightful caramel flavor with some vanilla undertones. A couple dishes really stood out to me - 1. Kueh Pie Tee: a traditional Peranakan dish which featured a delicate pastry cup filled with sweet lobster amongst other fillings. It was a one biter that was a very exiting start to the journey 2. Ketam Sayur Masak Lemak: a curry filled with hunks of the SWEETEST blue swimmer crab meat! It. Was. Heavenly! It also featured their housemade sambal which really elevated the dish! 3. Cincalok Pork: the pork jowl meat is already a delicious cut that is naturally crisp, but to have it marinated in Candlenut's homemade fermented shrimp paste? WOW. Admittedly, you have to like the funkiness of shrimp paste but the end result was buttery and the pork was just so so good. 4. Pengat Pisang: the dessert was sweet yet refreshing! I also liked all the textural play in this dish. The bananas, coconut, and palm sugar all played up the tropical touch too and was perfect for Singapore. At no point during my meal did I feel rushed even as a solo diner. Each dish was described impeccably and the staff always waited to ensure that I was ready for the next step. Even though they tell you the menu is just small dishes, after 13 of them, I certainly felt more than satisfied! SGD $175 for the set menu, a drink, and the service charge. Candlenut is the only Michelin starred Peranakan restaurant so it was truly a unique experience!
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 and colonial style gracious building.
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.
Had very high hope given the Michelin star and so many
Had very high hope given the Michelin star and so many recommended on social media. Started off strong - our server was very welcoming and knowledgeable of the cuisine/history of the restaurant. We had a big lunch around 2:30pm so we weren't very hungry for dinner and decided to go with a la carte vs omakase. Ordered the fried bean curd roll appetizer, fried rice, curry crab and Sambal vegetables. Overall a bit too sweet for my liking but appreciated the unique character of the dishes. However the service went downhill from here. My water glass wasn't filled for 10+ minutes until I flagged someone down. Then we waited around for another 10+ mins for our table to be cleaned and served dessert menu. Our server never stopped by once since our dishes arrived, no check-ins, no refills until the very end, she came by with the check and asked us if we wanted to join the membership... obviously no lol. Mind you this is on a Wednesday night so the place was about only half full. Would recommend you try somewhere else if wanting a better service and dining experience.
A very unique and flavourful meal.
First, the cuisine is based on a Singapore fusion culture and the only Michelin starred restaurant serving that food. The restaurant is located in a small development along with many other very interesting looking restaurants. We ate outside and it was quite pleasant, although warm out it was comfortable. Unlike some place where you are forgotten when dining outside, the service here was incredibly attentive and professional. We ordered the tasting menu, which was about 15 small plates. Rather than coming one at a time, you would be served all the starters, then all the mains and finally all the desserts. Each plate was quite manageable, some were just a bite, but overall it was a lot of food, nobody would love hungry. Most important, though, were all the interesting and unique flavours. All of the dishes were quite complex and none were disappointing. I particularly liked the seafood dishes, a white curry with crab was the most memorable. Also a nice wine list, I particularly enjoyed the Lebanese red. Definitely a great experience.

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 of food. Not a bad thing by any means (A great deal financially!), but I ended up taking home the desserts that wouldn't melt. The two things I really liked here were the Beef Kapitan Curry and the Bubur Ketan Hitam (a mochi sorbet sort of dessert), but others were less memorable. At the end of the day, I think Peranakan food is a very specific type of food that did not necessarily suit my taste buds. However, so many of my friends and coworkers rave about Candlenut and I do believe the food is great and Peranakan cuisine is both delicious and beautiful. The waitress was super attentive, and when she noticed that I wasn't eating my food often offered to remake it with substitutes. They also offered to call me a taxi since i wasn't too sure how to get around on my first night in Singapore. Candlenut is very accommodating and the ambiance is great (very good date vibes). Highly recommend!
Candlenut is absolutely extraordinary.
It was a very unique place. The food was phenomenal. Each dish was expertly prepared, appealingly presented and simply delicious. The atmosphere was delightful and the staff was pleasant and courteous. Exceptional meal and impeccable service - definitely a must return.

Working on your bid? |

Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |

Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
|
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
|
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

I see with my user status I can only cashout $1,500 a week. However is my monthly linit also that same $1,500? That doesnt make sense. Why even have caps, the sales went thru and its 2 days after by the time you release the hold to me. The monthly cap of $1500 (if thats what it is) really limits your good sellers profit potential as of that $1500 only a fraction is profit as the reservations cost a lot to reserve anyways at Carbone and Torissi.
Hoping the weekly is $1500 and the monthly is a glitch you can fix for me.

Give the best answerHonest review of AT and advice to new joiners
Forget trying to snipe reservations online by waking up early and booking top restaurants at Carbone or Tatiana or Cote or 4Charles. After 2.5 months of booking reservations by setting up alarms, waking up early to sell appointments. It’s very hard to cash out on this app. During cash out, you have to pay $5 fee +3% transactions fee and max payout per day is $150.
Advice to new users:
- do not mass book reservations
- fill bids only
- don’t try to book reservations online, you need connections and call the restaurant
