No wonder Peranakan food is so much tastier than Muslim dishes.

Ivins need those who can afford to eat at their restaurant to save them - not those who eat and run w/o paying.

Malay food added with sense and sensibility.

Not sure what the Peranakan folks here are thinking... stop giving your eatery an atas logo or signboard, or market it as some posh tourist trap like Violet Oon. Or worse, offer Peranakan fusion cuisine.

Let the jiuhu Peranakans teach you how it's done.

Peranakan were the early settlers who were mostly Chinese Royal families from China came to Malaysia and Singapore to bend down and get fucked by the Bumiputera by integrating themselves with the Malay culture then later deceived the poor Chinese labourers from China to support them.

What the TS did is the same as the history. Poor to support the riches

Hk many fnb also closed down.
Decades long biz folded and reported in social media even mainstream media and everyone throng such shops for last hurrah. Interview the owners kena fuck say if all had supported during the hard times now no need come down liao

Many restaurants shut between 2 to 5:30 pm as there aren't many diners who eat their meals between the usual lunch and dinner times.

Many restaurants do 20% to 30% off between 230pm to 530pm and it attracts a different customer base.

Ivins is now 1/2 the size of its previous restaurant at Binjai Park which occupied 2 shophouse units. That could account for it being full house these days.

Ivins started in 1986, when it was doing well those days, they could have easily bought a shop or shophouse for their business instead of renting. Is it the location that doesn’t allow them to buy a shop? Or the cost?

Hahhaha, u think all those Peranakan restaurants sprouting up in Malaysia are actually owned by Peranakans with Peranakan cooks? No fucking way. Every time I go to Melaka, it looks like the Peranakan restaurants increase by 20% just to get the tourists. But Peranakan is a dying race. The last true Peranakans were born 2 generations ago. Nowadays, their children married chinese and other races, and their grandchildren did the same. In the end, the Peranakan DNA is so diluted. When was the last time u attended a Peranakan wedding? (bride and groom, both Peranaka). For me, I think 30 years ago.

Peranakan, Hakka, Hainanese, Shanghainese (Yes, we've a very sm number of Singaporeans who are of this heritage) culture and language are more or less gone. You just ask the avg Singaporean, other than the nyonya dumpling and laksa. What other Paranakan dishes they know?
