What people say, in short
People widely recommend The Blue Ginger for Peranakan food, with many naming it as a go-to option, and several specifically point to the Tanjong Pagar branch. One diner calls it a decades-long stalwart where you cannot go wrong, another found it fantastic, and a commenter describes the food as delicious and suggests reserving ahead for a large group. A few diners are more measured: one says it is not bad but prefers another Peranakan spot, another calls it not bad while steering visitors toward a different neighbourhood, and one diner felt the experience was soulless for the cost.
