ABOUT SINPOPO™ Sinpopo is an ode to Katong and its heritage. Since the 1950’s, Katong has been well-known for its unique Peranakan culture and cuisine. Today, Katong is completely different. With a pletho- ra of Western styled cafes and restaurants, large shopping malls and condominiums, Katong’s heritage and its heritage businesses are being crowded out. We want very much to keep it alive because it is a part of us. So we’re not just some hipster café. We run a full-fledged kitchen and cook our dishes in the traditional way. We don't simplify or fusion-ise. We spruce up the old traditional recipes to keep them relevant. We also designed the entire place ourselves as we’ve always believed that we are the best people to build our own brand. So even though we may take a longer time, we feel proud that we did it ourselves and it looks exactly the way we want it to be. The surf board steel-top side tables, the mild steel tables, the tiered cutlery stand and the wall quotes which you see inside, are made in-house by us. That’s how much we want Sinpopo to be uniquely ours. Step inside, let us share it with you. SINPOPO’S NASI LEMAK Sinpopo’s nasi lemak is still cooked in the truly traditional way. The rice infused with pandan and coconut is steamed in a muslin cloth so that the grains of rice are whole and firm. The difference is distinct and the effort truly worthwhile. You can actually just eat the bowl of lemak rice without any other accompaniments. But we wouldn't stop there, so it’s served with a soft-center egg with assam onion relish, our sweet onion ikan bilis sambal, our famous Har Jeong Kai Wings (we use quality authentic har jeong and not the pink stuff) pork belly marinated in lam yu (red fermented bean curd), our unique luncheon meat crisps (Ma Ling brand of course), a side of Rojak Slaw and some soft yet succulent Sambal Fishballs. Truly the complete Singaporean meal.
