Fodor's Expert Review Chilli Padi Nonya Restaurant

East Coast, Katong, and Joo Chiat

The Peranakan-style cuisine here is fiery—and absolutely delicious. Most dishes are prepared with generous amounts of homemade chili paste and fresh herbs, so be sure to specify exactly how tongue tingling you'd like your order to be. Signature dishes include kepetin bak wan (minced crab and pork soup), assam fish head (in spicy gravy), ayam sio (chicken with coriander), and udang mesak nanas (prawns cooked with tamarind and pineapple). Save room for dessert.
