Cherry & Oak represents a unique collaboration between Walaku SG and ASAP & Co, bringing "Artisanal Wood-Smoked Cuisine" to 95 Owen Road in the Farrer Park area. This halal restaurant innovates by combining Western slow-smoking methods with Malay dishes, creating a fusion that honours both culinary traditions while delivering bold, smoke-infused flavours that distinguish it from conventional halal dining options.
The menu centres on smoked meats including brisket, duck and ribs, with the Whole Irish Duck at 8 requiring four-hour advance notice as a signature item. Customers praise the supple duck meat that tears effortlessly off the bone, demonstrating proper smoking technique and timing. The range extends from freshly shucked oysters to smoked beef brisket, showcasing versatility in protein preparations. Expected pricing of 5-5 per person reflects the quality ingredients and time-intensive smoking processes involved.
Operating Tuesday through Sunday from 11am to 10pm with last orders at 9pm, Cherry & Oak offers both alfresco and air-conditioned indoor seating, making it suitable for families and larger groups. Contactable at +65 9119 4074, the restaurant demonstrates how traditional smoking techniques can elevate Malay cuisine while maintaining halal compliance. The amalgamation of smoky, sweet and nutty notes creates complex flavour profiles that appeal to adventurous diners seeking something beyond standard halal restaurant offerings, positioning Cherry & Oak as a distinctive option in Singapore's competitive halal dining landscape.
