We’ve long been fans of Candlenut’s buah keluak fried rice. But we never thought that the ‘junk food’ version of it would threaten to dethrone the dish as our fave carb offering from the one-Michelin starred mod Peranakan restaurant. Enter the Buah Keluak Maggi Goreng, an old creation by the gentle-mannered, talented chef Malcolm Lee, which he recently revived during the no dine-in period. It’s a classic example of humble and haute working together to create magic in your mouth.

Beef Short Rib Kapitan, $35
A worthy pairing for the atas Maggi Goreng. Beautifully soft Margaret River Angus beef rib luxuriates in a rich, fragrant curry teeming with lemongrass, turmeric, galangal, coconut milk and kaffir lime leaf. This is a Father’s Day special available for takeaway and delivery only, till June 30. And believe us when we say papa's gonna dig (into) this.

Mackerel & Prawn Otah Lodeh, $25
Not a new dish, but nonetheless worth ordering — and not just so you hit your veggie quota (there are cabbage and long beans in it). It’s quite possibly the best sayur lodeh we’ve eaten. The gravy is crazy lemak — however, its richness is tempered with a good amount of spice and dried shrimp, the briny sweetness of hae bee underscoring each spoonful. And then there’s the house-made otak — tasty fish and prawn paste nestled within a soft Japanese taupok, the entire thing soaking up that incredible gravy like a deliciously juicy pillow. Shiok.

This couple running Twenty6 Gusto House proves that it doesn't take a lot of salt and sauces to create tasty and flavourful western cuisine!
