Pangium

Singapore, Singapore

At Pangium, chef Malcolm Lee’s devotion to Peranakan cuisine – a nuanced fusion of Malay, Indonesian and Chinese influences – shows up in his thoughtful modernisation of traditional dishes. Named after the tree that produces the buah keluak seed – a macadamia-like ingredient that is key to the cuisine – the restaurant puts the vivid, heritage flavours of Straits cuisine front and centre. Evening meals begin with delicately prepared miniatures of popular Peranakan snacks, such as ngoh huing pork rolls wrapped in beancurd skin and krupuk prawn and starch crackers, before diving into a creative, multi-course menu that might include kiam hu gut gulai fish soup or warming mee sua soup noodles. Pair your meal with a niche pour from the well-stocked wine list, which also has a swoonworthy selection of sakes on offer.
