Violet Oon at ION Orchard

This restaurant serves authentic south-east Asian food. Some dishes like the Kueh Pie Tee are amazing with fresh shrimp and a crispy cup. The beef hor fun was also great as the sauce was nice and the noodle was fresh. I also recommend the coconut jelly with coconut ice cream as that was delicious made with real coconut. Overall, I highly recommend coming here as the food is great.

The beef rendang very tender and rich of rendang taste but the rendang paste did not marinated in the meat, meat is meat, rendang is rendang. The satay and chicken wing just average, The worst dish is vegetarian mushroom pong tay. It is salty until it can't put in my mouth. I believe something miss handling. The Ngoh Hiang and egg plant are the best of the night.

Underrated gem at the top of ION Orchard 😋 Satay was THICC and grilled beautifully and went really well with the sauce. Fried pork fingerlings were sinfully good, and the prawn pasta was al dente and delicious even eating just the spaghetti without the prawns. Hainanese pork chop was good comfort food; roti prata was alright, paled in comparison to the rest.

High tea set for two that comes with Earl Grey or Rooibos tea and coffee. Or top up $8 for a premium tea selection. The set started with two types of scones that were buttery and light. They were good though I wouldn't say exceptional. The savouries and sweets in the set were packed with local and Peranakan flavours with reminiscence of childhood memories like the bandung agar agar and chendol pudding. Couple of items like the Otah may be a kick too spicy for some who are not used to the chilli heat. Overall a good and enjoyable high tea for the price. And the flavours were much on point.

Food: We liked almost all the main course dishes, the nasi goreng kankung was delicious and vegan/vegetarian friendly, which was amazing as I am a vegetarian. My friends had the ayam keluah which they enjoyed as well. The meatless rendang was also enjoyable as the meatless meatball had a good texture and wasn’t just generic tofu or mushroom addled things one sees for vegetarians. The curry however, though delicious wasn’t really an authentic rendang flavour to me. But it was delicious as a curry. Didn’t really like the fries but the dip that came it was delicious and the lettuce cups with popiah was also disappointing. Service: The staff is the best thing about this outlet. The lady who served was perhaps the best server I have ever encountered in my life. She was professional but also caring, chirpy and enthusiastic. She tended to everyone with equal attention. She took the birthday cake and produced it at an opportune moment and then offered to take a group photo for us. Loved the service they offer where she printed out the photo and gave it to the birthday person in a paper frame! That made our celebration so very special! Really appreciate the customer service and attention to detail. We were also given a slice of mango meringue cake for free which was also much appreciated. Ambience: I have to admit I don’t especially like the openness of the restaurant as I feel it takes away from the premium and fine dining aspect of the restaurant but otherwise it’s has really inviting, warm old school vintage vibes.

Panda cake very good enjoy with a earl grey tea , not too sweet the cake and not too dry. Dry laksa very spicy cannot taste anything, pee pie and all nonya food maintain good standard which worth to go though more expensive, expected at Orchard, everywhere charging this range. The best are the waiter and waitress very very professional.

Lovely restaurant with an inspired classy modern Peranakan setting offering Singaporean and Nonya cuisine. Menu offerings look pretty attractive, with selections including Dry Laksa, Fish Curry with Roti Prata, and Ngoh Hiang. We saw many tables ordering the Kueh Pie Tee. We decided to focus on the Nonya menu, and had the Beef Rendang paired with "Chicken Rice Rice". The Beef Rendang was on point with its thick and flavourful gravy enveloping tender chunks of beef. A must-try. Sambal egg plant was good, though it the spiciness overwhelmed our palates and some of the other flavours in the dish. Will come back again to try other dishes.
