Makko Teck Neo Nonya Café 35 Telok Blangah Rise #01-303 (Map) https://teckneo.com/ 10am – 9pm Daily
Mdm Shreen Peck or Makko Teck Neo is pushing 70 and still lords over this charming little cul-de-sac of a café in a quiet HDB neighbourhood. It’s adorned with black and white bamboo curtains and accents of Peranakan furnishing and decor, and they make no apologies telling you it's all about the food, not the place. The Dry Mee Siam comes with just a splash of the rich coconut base sauce to moisten it and it's very comforting, especially when topped with sambal prawns. Their Ayam Buah Keluak is bold, like a rendang sauce and it demands that it be devoured, and smeared over the fluffy rice. The Kiam Chye Tng or salted mustard pork soup is gentle in that it soaks a lot of the sodium out of the mustard before cooking it with the meat. Their nasi lemak is topped with the local favourite chicken wing and the usual nuts, ikan bilis, cucumber, and chopped string bean omelette (a nice touch). We like their bubur cha cha as it was emboldened with gula Melaka or palm sugar, not the usual white sugar. They also sell a decent selection of Nonya cakes and sweets, and they offer catering services too.
