"Blue Ginger specializes in the distinct local cuisine called Peranakan, a mix of Chinese and Malaysian influences."
Frommer's
"The standard belief is that Peranakan cooking is reserved for home-cooked meals and, therefore, restaurants are not as plentiful -- and where they do exist, they are very informal."

The signature dessert, chendol, a stew of red beans topped with crushed ice, coconut milk, and palm sugar and laced with durian purée, tastes as rich as it sounds—don't miss it.

Ask for a seat on the terrace to dine with a lovely view of the Padang and the Civic District beyond.

"When the food arrives, you won’t be able to focus on anything else. The restaurant serves upscale Peranakan food, which is kind of like if Indian curry, Chinese noodles, and Malay spices had a baby. "

Try the dry laksa noodles, beef rendang stew, and their ayam buah keluak, a casserole made with chicken, candlenut, and more spice than the comments on a YouTube video.
