Cherki

Nice restaurant with good service and decent fusion food. Really enjoyed the peranakan fusion dish and interesting drinks of both alcoholic and non alcoholic

Located on the ground floor of the Chinese Cultural Centre, this Peranakan restaurant offers a unique dining experience. The space features a bar at one end, surrounded by tables, and shares restroom facilities with the Chinese Call Centre next door. The cocktails here are truly the highlight and quite innovative. The Sop Story, a sour soup-inspired cocktail, arrived in a basket with dry ice and sauce on the side. Once mixed together, it became more of an alcoholic dessert than a typical drink, as it included semi-solid gin. It was a surprising and intriguing experience. The second drink, Loquat Elixir, was a gin-infused longan cocktail served in a sake container—light, refreshing, and memorable. Finally, the Street Side Signature offered a creative twist on alcoholic cendol, which was both fun and delicious. As for the food, the quality was a bit hit-or-miss. The truffle duck Polish fell short—it was dry and could have benefited from a sauce to enhance its flavor. However, the laksa lobster Kueh Pie Tee was excellent, with crispy shells filled with rich lobster, though at $20 for four pieces, it felt a little steep. The signature kerabu crab noodles were enjoyable, and the beef cheek rendang was flavorful, with a rich sauce and tender (albeit slightly fatty) beef cheeks. The accompanying blue pea rice was a nice touch and complemented the dish well. The combination of two starters, noodles, a main, and two servings of rice left us so full that we skipped dessert. Service was attentive, with staff providing detailed explanations of the cocktails, which added to the overall experience. On a quiet Sunday night, the restaurant was almost empty apart from one other table, so the atmosphere was subdued. While the food was interesting, it’s the cocktails that truly stand out. We’d recommend visiting primarily for the innovative drinks, as they are the true stars of the menu.

Nice cozy place. Quiet on weekend evening. Food was good but limited options.

Food was surprisingly good and service was also good! Would try the dry laksa next time

Love the ambience and also food was not bad! Will come back for their unique cocktails.

A quiet restaurant flying slightly under the radar. Good if you love peranakan food.

Hidden little gem. Wouldn't go all the time as it's a little pricey and out of the way, but the food is good and it's a nice atmosphere.

Food is really good and it isn’t crowded so it’s great!

went when there was 1-1 on burpple beyond. food was great, traditional with a modern twist. enjoyed it alot!

I made reservation for 3 pax well ahead of time, almost 6 weeks before the concert date, however, when we arrived, the server pointed us to a table at a dark corner, when there were many better seats for 4 by the wall where it was brighter. He told us if we insist to take the table by the wall at the middle, we will have to finish our food in an hour's time. I cannot understand why even though we made reservation well ahead of time, priority for better table was not given. The food is overall ok, there were many same few sauces used for different dishes. we tried the Baba squid, were disappointed because the squid was not fresh and was rather tasteless.

The food was really quite bad. The pork ball in the soup disintegrated. Seafood was not fresh and of poor quality. Everything was either bland or overly sweetened.

Generally good food, nice atmosphere, and attentive service. Bonus is the 1 for 1 on burpple/entertainer.

service was great at cherki as usual. cocktails are unique.

Nice place to dine away from the crowd. Good choice of menu with affordable prices. Will visit again

Food is nice, waiters and waitress can be more attentive if possible. Would suggest if there can be picture in the menu would be more ideal since we not familiar with nyoya food. We ordered a “banana blossom x x x “ thinking is some dish with banana, never thought it made from banana flower. Overall good dining experience here

Good ambience and reasonably priced tasty food. Will definitely return.

Ordered the lunch set with dessert. Satay chicken, pork belly and rice pancakes are delicious. Pongteh duck linguine is decent.

The rendang beef linguine is a first for me. Love the strong flavor of the dish

it was a quiet evening. we managed to try 3 cocktails and their anniversary duck confit which was nothing short of amazing. sadly didn't have room for dessert. can't wait to go back

nice place to have a meal there and the background music is good.

Good value & tasty though portions are on the smaller side. Great for a weekday catch up with a friend in CBD. A little off the usual venues but still within the city.

interesting variety of food, great service. Will be back again!

Restaurant is cosy and nice. More atas Peranakan food. Food is not bad as well but it's more on sweet side

Had lunch at the restaurant. Ordered the set lunch and picked the buah keluak chicken fried rice for the mains, and sambal winged beans and satay chicken for the sides. The fried rice is a tad too salty and oily for my liking but the sides are delicious. Also had a flat white and it was good. Service is prompt and friendly

Ordered the laksa lobster linguine, kueh pie tee amongst other things. Food and service are great.

It was pretty empty on a Sunday night for dinner, which is great 'cos it feels like we booked the whole restaurant for our meal

Customer service was good. However. The food portion and the price are not aligned. Too expensive and the food portions are too little.

Interesting peranakan fusion and very impressive list of cocktails at happy hour price during our visit.

Food is quite expensive but is very nice. Everything is great but the pastry on the beef wellington is a bit undercooked, and the tiramisu has no kaya taste. Would come back again.

paranakan cuisine are harder to find these days. this is excellent!!

Great foods! Love the cocktails and foods. Great location too! Will definitely revisit again.

great food, ribs and chicken were extremely tender. fried rice and linguine was delicious. some sides were abit towards the salty side. great affordable place

love the decor, ambience of the restaurant. The food and drinks are pretty unique too

love it. the decor, the food and the drinks are all on point

nice food, nice ambience and really liked the different cuisines

Went on a weekend so it was relatively quiet. Food was good and affordable.

love the interior and the cool cocktails. the dishes were pretty flavourful too!

This restaurant is quite hidden so there was no crowd at all even during peak dinner time. It's a good spot to go to for more privacy. Add on Entertainer's 1-1 for more savings!

Good food. Used HSBC app for 1-1. Value for money.

We ate the beef rendang. It was very tender and tasty. Price-wise a bit on the steep side, but still a good experience nevertheless.

Love the food here, it’s innovative and tasty. They are about to change their menu soon, so drop by to try soon! Buah keluak linguine was good!

i had their lunch set which value for money. good taste is good too.

Nice ambience, a little darker than expected. Food was not bad, brought my fam there for dinner

Food was very tasty and service was excellent. Wait staff were attentive and courteous. Looking forward to our 3rd visit

Slightly pricey but nice food. Drinks are innovative but not strong

Having dinner with a friend. Good atmosphere and nice food

Hidden gem on the fringe of the business district. Pity that some of the menu options were not available and the selection to qualify for use of the Entertainer app was extremely limited. Decent food but nothing particularly unusual

Very unique & nice drinks here! Great atmosphere, can try.

Unique nonya dishes. Love the interior design especially the bar area. Food portion is big and the crab laksa is good.

Delicious spread of modern fusion Peranakan food and creative cocktails, laksa lobster was the highlight dish that would recommend.
