Martina’s Kitchen, the beloved home-grown Peranakan restaurant that has been drawing food lovers to Seletar Aerospace Park, is bringing its soul food closer to the city. The restaurant has opened its second outlet at Aperia Mall, Kallang — and if you haven’t made the trek out east to try their nyonya cooking, now you have no excuse.
Tucked into units #01-60/61 at 12 Kallang Avenue, the new outlet retains the warmth and character that regulars have come to love — think homestyle Peranakan cooking served in a laid-back space that feels more like a family dining room than a restaurant. The team has spared no effort in recreating an atmosphere that complements the food: earthy tones, plush seating, and — on Friday and Saturday evenings — live pop-jazz music from 6:30pm.
Peranakan Soul Food Worth Making a Trip For
The menu leans heavily on recipes passed down through generations, with bold flavours and generous portions that feel resolutely Singaporean. The Steam Assam Red Snapper is a standout — tangy, aromatic, and cooked with the confidence that only comes from long practice — while the Sambal Chicken delivers a satisfying punch of heat tempered by a slight sweetness.
The Sengguang Goreng — a Peranakan stir-fried vegetable dish — is the sort of side that quietly steals the show, while the Singapore Satay makes a convincing case for why the humble skewer remains one of Singapore’s great culinary icons. For something more indulgent, the Black Vinegar Pork Trotter is a slow-cooked, gelatinous classic that regulars at Seletar have long requested become a permanent fixture.
Live Music, Great Food, and a Generous Opening Promo
If the food alone isn’t enough reason to visit, the Friday and Saturday live pop-jazz sessions (from 6:30pm) make for a very pleasant evening out. It’s a combination that works — the intimate dining room and the acoustic backdrop turn dinner into something closer to an event.
To celebrate the new opening, Martina’s Kitchen is offering 10% off for all diners through to the end of July 2026. Follow them on social media for an exclusive discount code on top of that. Given how quickly word travels about good Peranakan food in Singapore, we’d recommend going sooner rather than later.
