The food at @cherki_sg definitely tasted gooOoodd! but we gotta admit that the portion sizes are on the smaller side. Finding this place wasnโt easy because its quite ulu >.< Overall, it was a good blend of both asian and western, and we were pleasantly surprised that it was not fusion confusion ๐๐ We truly enjoyed the vibes at this place, and while youโre here, maybe you could enjoy a cocktail or two! ๐

As expected the foie gras was miniscule HAHA but at least it did melt in your mouth to yield that fatty and creamy goodness. TBVH the star of the dish was the blue pea duck rice which was tasty and more substantial.

Now this was snapped up FAST hehe ๐The pan-seared snapper was SO fresh and juicy, and that lime-herb crust permeated its flavours into the fish so well! Take a spoonful of that snapper, achar, and fragrant blue pea rice and youโd totally enjoy this dish like no other!

Okay ngl this may look slightly sad for its price but it was truly the rolls royce of the meal! The beef was well seasoned and cooked to a nice medium rare which,,, somehow was still a little bit tough though

Weโve been eyeing this place for a long time because weโve long heard about their raving reviews! Cherki promises their peranakan and western fusion to wow the senses - and they surely delivered their blend of modernity and tradition ๐ซถ
.
First things first: the vibes!! The cool blues, the music, and the lighting made the ambience SO relaxing and chill. We loved the combi of ratan furniture and traditional peranakan tiles as flooring in the interior as well! ๐๐Hereโs what we got on a saturday evening:

The al dente linguine was tasty yet light and clean, and the lobster was fresh! However, the laksa flavours were mild and as a result this dish could have been creamier and bolder in their spices.
Shio Hamaguri Soup Ramen ($17.50 inclusive of GST and service charge)
Surprised to find out that they have a michelin star because it tasted pretty normal to me. Portion was not enough as well. Though at this price point, itโs one of the more affordable places to eat in CHIJMES so I canโt complain much!
Highlight was actually the mini clam rice which was served as a complimentary appetiser with every bowl of ramen - clams were really sweet and juicy!
In picture: Negitoro onsen ($21.90) and Kaisen don ($39.90)
Ambience was cozy for a quiet date night.
The negitoro was so flavourful and mixed with the onsen egg it was sublime I liked it a lot. For the kaisen don, the price is a little steep, but at least you will rest assured that you are paying for high quality fresh ingredients.
Overall a good meal and may come back if in the area!
