Damian D’Silva cooks from the heart at his new restaurant Rempapa

Chef Damian D’Silva cooks from the heart and he wants heritage cuisine to live on his new all-day dining restaurant Rempapa that highlights the best of ethnic cuisine

Last year, when Options interviewed chef Damian D’Silva for our National Day issue, he commented that there has been too much emphasis on hawker food in Singapore and
too little understanding of our heritage cuisine. D’Silva has always been championing heritage cuisine and he hopes to pass on a legacy of dishes from the vari- ous heritage cuisines so that they can be remembered forever.
