Kin’s Be With Kin menu, launched over the Circuit Breaker, encourages family-style dining over a variety of hearty Singaporean heritage cuisine meals.

He may be known for his Peranakan and Eurasian cuisines but Damian D’Silva’s new heritage menu, Be With Kin (BWK), has included Hakka and Cantonese classics into his spread curated for family dining – available for delivery and takeaway.

On the menu is the Hakka Fried Pork ($18) – a crispy pork belly that's not too greasy, with an intense flavour of five-spice and artisanal black bean sauce, served

Order:

Location: Straits Clan Lobby, 31 Bukit Pasoh Road with chilli vinegar. The Lei Cha Fan ($18) or Thunder Tea Rice is a flavourful combo of cabbage, mani chye, leek, long bean, beancurd, and herbaceous basil-mint Chinese mugwort broth.

The time-honoured Cantonese dish Chi Pow Kai ($16) comes with juicy parcels of paper-wrapped boneless chicken in special marinade, served with garlic chilli. BWK is an extensive and impressive menu that’s reasonably priced for communal dining. It offers sets, small and large mains, sides and desserts.

You can find Damian’s iconic Peranakan dishes like Buah Keluak Fried Rice ($28); and set meals like the Peranakan Chap Chye ($70-$98), which is a generous portion for two.

Damian says: “It’s heartwarming to know that despite all that’s going on, people are taking the time to sit down with family at home to enjoy a lovingly prepared heritage feast.”
