Winner of Exquisite Awards 2024 – Best Casual Dining:
Candlenut at Como Dempsey
As the world’s first Michelin-starred Peranakan restaurant, Candlenut offers a beautifully curated menu where tradition meets modernity. Helmed by Chef Malcolm Lee, Candlenut elevates Straits-Chinese cuisine with refined techniques and a deep respect for heritage. Every dish preserves the essence and complexities of traditional food, while subtle innovations create a lighter, contemporary twist.
Chef Malcolm Lee, the chef/owner of Candlenut, is a Peranakan himself, and he draws inspiration from his roots. He is also committed to continually using the freshest seasonal ingredients available for each dish, offering authentic yet innovative Peranakan flavours.
At Candlenut, you can choose to luxuriate in its à la carte menu or indulge in its unique Ah-Ma-Kase experience, a nostalgic menu inspired by cherished meals at grandma’s table. Here, food is more than just a meal—it is a heartfelt journey through memory and tradition, served with a modern flair that creates an extraordinary blend of the past and present.
