Ask anyone who has ever picked my brains to recommend a Peranakan restaurant and they will tell you my answer was “Folklore”. The reason being my palate has always found Chef Damian D’Silva’s cooking very agreeable.
At the media tasting of their Christmas Menu, we got to try a few new items as well as a couple from the past festive menu that‘ve been included due to popular demand.
One of the two dishes I enjoyed most was the “Eurasian Pork Vindaloo”. It has its roots in Goa, and is piquantly spicy and tangy thanks to the vinegar added in with the garlic, ginger, turmeric, dry chillies and brandy. Traditionally, the meat of choice is pork ribs but Chef Damian followed his grandfather’s recipe that calls for bone-in pork chop instead. I think it’s smart as it makes it really inviting for you to eat with your hands which of course, is always fun.

By the way, every dish on the Christmas Menu can be ordered for takeaway for $3 more and 5 working days’ notice period. So if you aren’t in the mood to cook or have a potluck event to attend, there’s Folklore to the rescue! 😄
