We are back at Cherki for their amazing modern Peranakan dishes! Today, we decided to try out something new - the Pangium Beef Wellington. This is the most expensive of their main dishes and it costs $30++! Like a traditional beef Wellington, it contains beef encased in puff pastry before being baked, but the main difference here is that the beef was seared and cooked with buah keluak, which gives the beef a slightly earthy flavour and a blackish exterior. The wellington was served alongside sauteed mushrooms.

Even though the food only took up half the plate, the dish is a lot more filling than it looks, presumably because of the pastry crust. :) Hence, it is much more filling than many of the dishes on Cherki's menu. 😁 However, our main complaint was that the beef was a lot tougher than we expected, even though the menu indicated that it was supposed to be prepared medium rare.

Cherki is still very crowded even on a Thursday evening and we highly encourage you to make a reservation beforehand. One-for-one Burpple Beyond deals are still available at the restaurant for June so do remember to use them if you are a subscriber!
