It's not every day that you get to meet a bone fide celebrity chef. Dine at Violet Oon's Kitchen though, and you stand a very good chance of meeting the woman once described as "Singapore's Julia Child". Serving traditional Nyonya dishes, Violet Oon and her family personally invite you to experience the unique flavours of Peranakan cuisine in a beautiful black and white setting.

Given that Ms. Oon is an expert on all things Nyonya, you can't go wrong by exploring the "Nyonya Favourites" on the menu. However, the western offerings, inspired by her experiences travelling abroad as Singapore's food ambassador, deserve some consideration. Her Shepherd's Pie is a cult favourite, while dishes like Chilli Crab Pizza, and Brioche French Toast with Gula Melaka Banana Sauce present an interesting Nyonya twist.

Whether you decide to dine al fresco, or choose to be within the confines of the updated Peranakan decor, don't be surprised if Ms. Oon stops by and introduces herself, or even goes so far as to bring up a chair and chat with you for a bit! (Mar 2020)
