A Taste of Heritage: The Story of Sarang Cookery

Nestled in a charming 1928 heritage house, Sarang Cookery is more than just a restaurant—it’s a gateway to history, culture, and the soul of Peranakan cuisine. As you step through our doors, you are transported to a time when cooking was more than a necessity—it was a cherished tradition, a way of life, and a means of bringing people together.

Our journey began with a deep appreciation for the intricate art of Peranakan cooking, a culinary heritage that beautifully blends Chinese, Malay, Indonesian, and Thai influences. Every dish we serve tells a story—one of resilience, creativity, and the love that Peranakan families have poured into their kitchens for generations.
