"This historically rich cuisine influenced by the mix of Chinese and Malay culture has placed True Blue Cuisine in Wine and Dine's list of top ten restaurants in Singapore... Something not to be missed is the delightful Nonya dessert. Onde Onde, balls of soft pandan-flavoured dough sprinkled with grated coconut are highly popular..."

"Inside, the restaurant is decorated with cultural trappings that will make Singaporeans nostalgic and foreigners feel as if they've been welcomed into a private home..."

"Delectable, traditional, rustic grub and authentic decor in this restored shophouse."

"To go to a Peranakan restaurant and not sample their signature ayam buah keluak would be criminal. True Blue’s version, happily, does not disappoint, with tender pieces of chicken mixed in a dark curry concoction. A whole fish-head is drenched with orange-yellow gravy and infused with a medley of spices, giving this dish a unique tasty spiciness not easily found elsewhere. Pulot hitam is a lovely finisher, its sweet, coconut-blended taste complementing the restaurant’s cuisine very well."
N/A, Live To Dine - January 2007 |
"The restaurant's Peranakan decor includes Nonya coloured porcelain, kerosangs, beaded shoes and belts dotted throughout the shophouse... This restaurant serves traditional Peranakan dishes and also some with twists... There is a concise list of Old World and New World labels."

“Delectable, traditional, rustic fare and authentic decor in a restored shophouse.”

"True Blue offers a wonderfully authentic Peranakan experience, with intense flavours, verve, and unobtrusive service. Not surprisingly, the place is a favourite with the local Peranakan community."
Richard Cook, Wallpaper City Guide Singapore - January 2006 |
"You may miss the entrance to this lovely restaurant if you aren't vigilant. Up a staircase, past owner Benjamin Seck's personal collection of Straits Chinese antiques, you settle in a tastefully adorned space."
