NSW: Crows Nest: Berempah

Date visited: 9 January 2026

Good food, but not memorable.

Prawn Dumplings served with “homemade special sauce”

Sweet Tamarind Wings “thin battered winds tossed with sweet tamarind sauce.” The chicken was very tender, but the tamarind flavour was almost non existent.

Coconut Lime Prawns: “Tiger prawns, chilli jam, lime, capsicum, onion, carrot, broccoli and coconut milk.” Disappointing in that I expected a dominate lime flavour, but it was not perceivable, nor was the chilli jam.

Berempah’s Pork Belly “Crispy pork belly, special tamarind sauce, steamed broccoli, and carrot.” The pork was tender, but the crispiness was lost under the sauce, and this sauce was also devoid of tamarind flavours.

Red Duck Curry: “Roasted Duck, red curry paste, coconut milk, lychees, pineapple, basil, tomato, zucchini, green beans.”
