The secret to lifelong luck? Our handmade Ang Ku Kuih!

Ang Ku Kuih (Red Tortoise Cake) is a beloved Peranakan (Nyonya) delicacy—soft, chewy glutinous rice skin wrapped around sweet mung bean or peanut filling. Molded into the shape of a tortoise shell, its vibrant red color and shape symbolize longevity, good fortune, and prosperity.

​Traditionally featured at baby full-month celebrations, weddings, and ancestor worship, it represents blessings and family togetherness.

Did you know? Nature makes the best green.

Pandan - The Fragrant Pillar of Peranakan Cooking

Pandan (Pandanus amaryllifolius) is often celebrated as the "Vanilla of Southeast Asia." It is a tropical plant with long, blade-like bright green leaves that form the aromatic backbone of Nyonya and Peranakan heritage cooking.

The Aroma Profile
Fragrance: Warm, sweet, floral, and deeply nutty with hints of freshly steamed jasmine rice, toasted coconut, and vanilla.

The Secret Chemistry: The signature aroma comes from the compound 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2AP)—the exact same aroma compound found naturally in premium Basmati rice, Jasmine rice, and freshly baked white bread crust!

At Kita Kuisine, we don't rely on synthetic food dyes to get that iconic emerald shade in our Pandan Chiffon Cake and Nyonya Kuih. We extract pure juice straight from real, fresh pandan leaves!

Known as the "Vanilla of Southeast Asia," pandan brings a naturally sweet, toasted-coconut aroma that no artificial flavoring can ever match.

Swipe to see how we turn raw pandan leaves into pure liquid gold!

We have the incredible honour of catering for several wedding celebrations this summer – and our kitchen has been buzzing with love, spice, and everything nice! 🇲🇾 & 🇸🇬

Being part of a couple's big day is truly special. While fusion food has its place, we've noticed many couples still crave one thing: authenticity. They search for that taste of home – the flavour we call "Ah Ma's kitchen" – the comforting soul-food so hard to find in London.

Often, either the bride or groom is Malaysian or Singaporean, and they want to share the pride of their heritage through Peranakan (Nyonya) cuisine. We listen to their stories and bring them to life using authentic ingredients like ginger torch flower, wing beans, and butterfly pea flower – the true soul of Nyonya cooking.

What we offer:
🍽️ Wedding catering – big or small, lunch, brunch, or dinner
👨‍🍳 Private chef dining – we cook in your home
🎁 Nyonya kuih gifting – baby full moon, festive occasions & more

The secret to ultimate Beef Rendang? Kerisik! 🥥

Making it is a labour of love—slow-toasting fresh shredded coconut until golden, to release natural rich, aromatic paste.

Kerisik is the magic ingredient that thickens the spiced gravy, helping those deep flavors absorb right into the beef. The result? A perfectly thick, intensely aromatic, and creamy beef rendang that melts in your mouth. 🤤
