Chef Malcolm Lee runs the world's first Michelin-starred Peranakan restaurant from a garden setting at Block 17A Dempsey Road, where his ahma-kase tasting menu moves from kueh pie tee through the slow-cooked buah keluak that defines Straits-Chinese cooking. It keeps a full Sunday, lunch from noon and dinner from six, which makes it the standout heritage booking on a Singapore Sunday. The Dempsey garden room and family-style format make it a Sunday lunch worth lingering over rather than a quick one.
