Baba Chews

Baba Chews Baba Chews Bar and Eatery is an all-day dining restaurant in Katong serving Modern Asian dishes and W Baba Chews is a restaurant inspired by our neighbourhood.

The name ‘Baba Chews’ takes inspiration from Chew Joo Chiat, a wealthy Chinese landowner known as the ‘King of Katong’ who in 1917 allowed the use of a road through his land for public, which is the Joo Chiat Road we know today. Various other roads and landmarks in the vicinity were also named after him, such as this very building, which was formerly the Joo Chiat Police Station (1928 – 1987). Che

w Joo Chiat married a Nonya, Tan Quan Neo, after moving to Singapore. Nonya or Nyonya is an honorific for Peranakan women and Baba for Peranakan men, a majority of whom are Straits Chinese - descendants of Chinese migrants who settled in the Malay archipelago and inter-marrying with local Malays. Smaller Peranakan communities of other ethnicities – the Phuket Babas, Indian Hindu Peranakans, Indian Muslim Peranakans, Eurasian Peranakans exist as well. Baba Chews have put together a menu of Modern Asian & Western Cuisine, that are suitable for all ages.

Baba’s Laksa 🍜

A celebration of Katong’s laksa culture, this colourful bowl brings together bold flavours, comforting tradition and fresh seafood in every spoonful.

Delicate blue pea noodles are bathed in a rich, spicy coconut laksa broth, then topped with tiger prawns, mussels, scallops, cockles and fish cake for a dish that is hearty, aromatic and deeply satisfying.

A heritage classic, served with a vibrant twist.

Tamarind Whisky Sour 🍸

Where heritage meets the cocktail glass.

Inspired by the warm hues of Katong at sundown, our Tamarind Whisky Sour brings together smooth bourbon, tangy tamarind, fresh lemon and silky foam for a cocktail that feels both familiar and unexpected.

Rich, citrusy and beautifully balanced, it is a refined sip with a distinctly local twist.
