Helmed by Chef Damian D'Silva, South East Sliders will feature his radical take on familiar Singapore dishes, namely Lim Peh Slider - Beef Rendang shredded and stuffed into a pastry pocket together with caramelized onions, pickles, lettuce & Swiss chess and The Big D Slider - Chicken Debal with relish, lettuce, egg and smoked cheese in crisp & flaky pastry pocket. His concept is to preserve the heritage behind our ethnic food while innovating to make it appeal to the younger generation, but I say, the tastiness of the food is easily appreciated by all.
