If there’s one thing that Singapore is known for, it’s our vibrant collection of cultural gems left for us by the diverse and vibrant mix of heritage that coloured our history. Another thing that Singaporeans are known for? Our love of food and all things delicious.
Perfectly encapsulating both aspects, Baba Chews offers a unique experience that marries history and culture with the flavours of modern culinary developments.
An all-day neighbourhood café and restaurant serving up nostalgic flavours elevated with a contemporary touch, Baba Chews presents foodies an authentic, Modern-Singaporean menu complemented with meticulously executed Asian signatures and beloved Western classics.
The experience at Baba Chews doesn’t just stop at the food though. Their quality beverage menu boasts coffee selections from Common Man Coffee Roasters, fine tea from TWG Tea, and a myriad of artisanal alcoholic choices for that much-needed after-hour escape.
Located within Hotel Indigo Singapore Katong’s premises, Baba Chews pays homage to the icon of Katong, Mr. Chew Joo Chiat himself. Inspired by the neighbourhood’s rich cultural offerings, the restaurant displays vivid Peranakan décor and influences, taking diners back in time as they indulge in dish after dish of unforgettable taste.
While you’re there, don’t forget to go for their popular Bread & Dips and Chilli Crab Cake for starters, or bite into unique prawn paste or charcoal otah You Tiao. Restaurant signatures you don’t want to miss include their Kopi ‘C’ Spare Ribs that comes with rojak slaw and you tiao crisps, assam Fish Collar, and the interesting Char Siew Donburi, featuring indulgent pork belly char siew, Hong Kong chye sim, and XO crab sauce.
Of course, no foodie experience is complete without desserts – at Baba Chews, wrap up your meal on a high with the cheeky Our Style Chendol, prepared with red bean mousse, pandan jelly, gula melaka, popcorn, and coconut cream, or go with the truly Nanyang Kueh Durian.
