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! (May 2014)

"Inspired by the travels and university experiences of Violet and her children, you can see how the influences of Los Angeles, the UK and Sydney come into play with the fun array of different dishes. Dads will love tucking into the hearty Breakfast Burritos (try the Vietnamese pulled pork version) and if you're looking for a dish with a bit of local flavour, the Asian Big Breakfast is a treat for your taste-buds, comprising Nasi Kuning, Sambal Telor and finger-licking Chicken Wings." -Sassy Mama Singapore

"If you've got out-of-towners and you need a restaurant to ease them into the local palette, we highly recommend you check this black-and-white out. If they pass on the local-influenced dishes, there's always failsafe options like Shepherd's Pie and Pulled Beef Rigatoni to keep everyone happy." -The Honeycombers

"The bistro is modern and cosy, with a black-and-white colour scheme sporting elements like pale white and grey marble tables, black wooden chairs and floor tiling that's a throwback to yesteryears." -Time Out Singapore
