Helmed by Chef Damian D’Silva, Rempapa has just added two dishes to the menu for Deepavali. Available from now till 24 October, you can look forward to unique dishes like Kool, a northern Sri Lankan speciality, that’s made with seafood including fish, crab, prawns and cuttlefish, as well as vegetables such as long beans, sliced tapioca and jackfruit seed. However, before you head down, we recommend that you call in, as the dish itself requires a three-day advance order. Another hearty dish that will be on the menu is the Lamb Dhalcha, that’s carefully made with tender lamb ribs and bacon bones, and comes with three pieces of chapati.
