Peranakan @The Blue Ginger

I think of The Blue Ginger Restaurant as the veritable grand dame of peranakan fine dining.

She is style.
She is refinement.
She is hospitality from a bygone era where the living was gracious.

To celebrate an old girlfriend's home visit during the Chinese New Year, we gathered at this lovely restored shophouse restaurant for an old fashioned meal of Straits Chinese cooking.

And the warm memories of growing up in a peranakan neighbourhood came flooding back.

I miss those days.
