Rempapa is one of my favourite restaurants thst serve a huge range of heritage dishes.

The sambal buah keluak is one of my favourites when paired with the turmeric rice. Alternatively, you could opt for their buah keluak fried rice which has a nice smokiness to it.

For the mains, i highly recommend the baca asaam (beef cheek) which is both tasty and tender. The mee anu (which is a new dish) was surprisingly flavourful.

Make sure to never leave the place without trying their desserts! I highly recommend the kueh bengkah, kueh salat, and kueh kosui.

Lastly, I would love to extend my appreciation to chef Damien for the food, and the service staff (Jeremy, Fadhullah, and Jane) for the amazing night!

I don't frequently do food reviews, but this may honestly be one of the best kbbq joints I've eaten in SG. The meats are really fresh, the service is impeccable, and the food is amazing!

That being said, it is slightly pricey, but if you are willing to splurge, do it here.

I ordered their kkotsal (prime special flower beef short ribs) - $45, yang nyum galbi (marinated beef short ribs) - $45, and their black pork set (5mm pork belly + pork collar + pork jowl + sliced pork belly) - $93.

All were great but i personally loved their marinated beef the most.

I was blown away by my experience at Cherki on 11 Jun.

I used the Burpple Beyond promotion to get the following mains (black nut linguine, herb crusted snapper, baba back ribs, and beef Wellington). Summarily, the beef Wellington was amazing, the linguine could do with a stronger candle nut taste, and the ribs and snapper were above average albeit a little on the smaller side.

The cocktails were the highlight of the dinner. We started off with a couple of cocktails from the menu, all of them were amazing. Having the flavour profiles of each drink listed below was definitely a nice touch!

We followed it up with a bespoke cocktail each. That was when we started to have our minds blown. Being in a Peranakan fusion restaurant, I requested for a candle nut cocktail and what was served blew my mind - the owner of the restaurant came up with a beef Wellington inspired savoury dessert cocktail with buah keluak, chocolate, rum, etc. Mixed into dry ice for a slushie-like consistency. It was then served in a puff pastry bowl with a bakwa garnish. Nothing short of mindblowing tbh.

If you enjoy unique / funky cocktails, definitely come here to challenge the bartenders.

*total cost for 5 pax, after burpple beyond discount was $390. 4 mains, 3 sides, and 11 cocktails (5 from the menu during happy hour and 6 bespoke cocktails).
