Complete with nostalgic decor reminiscent of Singapore's colonial heritage, the restaurant features many aspects of Straits Chinese living, creating a distinctly peranakan dining atmosphere in which to indulge the many dishes.

The inspiration behind our starting "blue ginger" cannot be fully explained without first sharing with you aspects of peranakan culture. As a peranakan, the signature of a well-bred "Nonya", or Straits Chinese lady, was how well one could cook. It was often the matriarch of the family who would bring the entire family together, over a mouthwatering spread of spicy and aromatic dishes.
Our journey of rediscovery was prompted by these fond memories of hearty feasts at grandma's. The Blue Ginger was created simply through our desire to share our unique culture with others. Today, the restaurant is run by a team of people who are passionate towards this end.
