Ukrainian Solidarity Supper | Dine for a Cause - Support aid efforts in Ukraine
28 Mar 2022
Hosts Pam and Ken were wonderful, impressing us with their excellent culinary skills, knowledge and life experiences. The Ukrainian charity dinner we had was superb, every dish was well-thought out and kickass-tasting to boot. If you’re in the adventurous mood for some Slavic food for a good cause, look no further! Also - 10/10 for ambience, decor and plating, i’m already planning my next meal with them!

We went to Pam and Ken’s to celebrate our friends’ birthdays and it was AMAZING! the food was delicious - some of the best Spanish food. The octopus and garlic prawns were particularly memorable - better than most of the top places in Singapore! Ken and Pam were also super warm and welcoming and it was really special being hosted by them. Finally the space is gorgeous. Really loved being in their beautiful home and it felt like we were whisked away somewhere different for the afternoon!

First time ever experience on private dining! We were so impressed by the host service (Ian and Li-Ann - hope I spell her name right). As my friends and I work in the hospitality industry, we naturally have higher expectations in terms of service and we are so glad to have chosen Primateve over anywhere else to celebrate one of our friend’s birthday!
The food was simply delicious and ingredients were fresh. Thanks to the host that the birthday girl had an enjoyable night. Keep up the service guys! We’ll definitely be back.
