After watching Emerald Hill - The Little Nyonya Story on TV, I've been craving Peranakan food. Just nice, Pink invited us to join her family for lunch at Cherki, located in the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre.
Cherki redefines Peranakan dining with its modern take on traditional cuisine and uniquely crafted cocktails. The space exudes warmth and elegance, blending turquoise and brown hues with gold to give a modern and contemporary look.
We ordered the Tingkat Set which comes with one beverage and two sides. We chose different mains but some similar sides. I had the blue pea rice, my girl had the buah keluak fried rice, and my hubby had dry laksa. The food was served in a beautiful, two-tiered tingkat. Each lunch set comes with crackers, sambal and house made Achar. This was the first time we tried buah keluak fried rice, it was super nice. I would want to order it again the next time if we came back here again.
We also ordered the Laksa Lobster Kueh Pie Tee (4 pcs) and Cherki Red Ngor Hiang for sharing.
They sell a variety of cocktails and mocktails and we had the edible cocktail - Sop Story and The Descendants. Berry Mocktail. Very nice presentation.
Kaya Gula Melaka Tiramisu, Orh Nee Tart and Black Sesame Cheesecake.
Assorted Nyonya Kuih is a must-order. Served warm and so soft.
After eating, the kids explored level 1 of SCCC as there's still some time before our next event.
Overall, a very pleasant experience dining here. The food had met my expectation and I tried new dishes too.

We headed over to the Victoria Theatre to catch ZOOOM by Patch Theatre, presented by Act 3 international.
Before we entered the theatre, each of us was given a portable light that will actually changed colours later in the show. Inspired by Harold and The Purple Crayon, ZOOOM's narrative follows a child's imaginative journey when they're unable to sleep at night.
The show was fun and engaging, with a perfect blend of light, energy and creativity that left a lasting impression. No dialogue was needed. At the end of the show, we queued up to take some nice group photos together with the actress, who was impressively tall.
Since we were in the area and still had some time, we visited the National Gallery Singapore. Another great place for kids to explore and hang out.
313 Somerset celebrated 313 Day on 31st March by giving out 1,000 Tangulu from Kang Ji Sugar Coated Fruits, 1,000 drinks from Tim Hortons, and 1,000 scoops of gelato from Vanda Botanical Desserts. I redeemed with the promo codes on the Lendlease Plus app and went to claim them today after our dinner at Genki Sushi. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to redeem the Tanghulu as the staff said it was already sold out.
