If you're looking for a taste of home-cooked Peranakan cuisine, you’ve got to check out IVINS Peranakan Restaurant. With locations at Binjai Park, Heartland Mall, and Thomson Plaza, this family-run restaurant has been serving authentic dishes since 1988, keeping grandma's recipes alive and prepared with love and care.

What we love about IVINS is that the dishes come in small portions, perfect for when you're dining with just 2 or 3 people. You can try a bit of everything without feeling overwhelmed. It’s not about fancy ingredients or Michelin stars here—it’s about good, honest food that’s both affordable and comforting.

Walking into IVINS, you'll feel right at home with its spacious interior, green tables, and wooden seats. It’s like having dinner at grandma's place. It’s a great spot for families, even with kids, because Peranakan food is all about sharing and enjoying together.

Signature Dishes

Ayam Buah Keluak

One of their signature dishes, the Ayam Buah Keluak, is something you’ve got to try. It might look like curry chicken, but the taste is something else entirely. The chicken is drenched in a tangy tamarind gravy, and every bite is bursting with flavour. The chicken is so tender it falls off the bone easily, thanks to hours of preparation and stewing. It’s a unique, authentic dish that’s well worth the try.

Babi Pongteh

Another favourite is the Babi Pongteh, a classic Nyonya dish. The pork belly is braised with fermented soybeans, garlic, and shallots until it’s melt-in-your-mouth tender. The flavours are savoury, slightly sweet, and incredibly aromatic. It’s the kind of comfort food that just makes you feel good inside.

Nyonya Curry Fishhead

If you’re dining with a group, the Nyonya Curry Fishhead is perfect for sharing. The portion is generous, easily feeding a group of four. The fish is fresh and breaks apart easily, with a subtle sweetness that goes perfectly with the tangy, spicy gravy. The dish also comes with veggies like okra and eggplant, which soak up all those amazing flavours. It’s hearty and ideal for sharing with friends or family.
