Chef Damian D’Silva’s Chinese New Year menu—dubbed “The Five Blessings”— brings to the table five memorable dishes he feasted on as a child during this time of the year.
Among these are garam assam snapper, comprising golden snapper bathed in a savoury-spicy gravy; and hati babi bungkus, featuring minced pork, coriander and liver patties tossed with homemade spices and Sarawak pepper, wrapped in caul fat, then steamed and grilled over charcoal.
D’Silva’s all-time favourite soup—itek teem—is also part of the repertoire. It’s a bowl of duck leg simmered in salted vegetable soup packed with sweet, salty, sour flavours. Available from January 20 to February 8.
