My dining companions and I met up for dinner over the weekend at VivoCity. As queues were the norm for most restaurants, we settled for one of the few exceptions. Located opposite Cyrstal Jade Jiang Nan, between Jpot and TungLok Signatures where seats were also available, is Nyonya & Baba. Having eaten and loved The Blue Ginger at Tanjong Pagar, we decided to try this Peranakan restaurant. Ordered a dinner set for two, with an additional bowl of rice, to share among three. For the soup and poultry, we chose Bakwang Kepeting over Hu Piao and Ayam Buah Keluak over Sate Ayam respectively. Seasoned meatballs made of minced pork, crabmeat and prawn in a surprisingly light broth were better than expected. While the chicken was tender, I did not like the sweet and spicy black nut gravy it was stewed in.
