THE WEEKEND BRUNCH - going on a sentimental journey at Violet Oon's Kitchen, launching Saturday June 1 st 2013. BRUNCH is one the most enjoyable relaxed meals of the week. A late breakfast that morphs into a lazy long lunch is a great pleasure of life. For many of us, a lazy Sunday breakfast brings back many happy memories. For Violet Oon, weekend brunch, as a child, always meant sharing a Nasi Melayu meal with her late father Oon Beng Soon, in the corner coffee shop at the junction of East Coast Road and Ceylon Road. This is one of her most treasured meal memories and the new Asian Big Breakfast at Violet Oon's Kitchen Weekend Brunch, launching Saturday June 1st from 9.30 am to 3 pm, honours that great memory. The plain white rice morphs into the elegant Nasi Kuning, a sophisticated version of Nasi Lemak - comprising a mixture of plain rice and glutinous rice steamed with coconut cream, turmeric, lemon grass, bay leaves and a hint of salt. Sambal Telor, an Indonesian boiled egg dish learnt from Violet’s Aunty Nanny Zecha, continues the sentimental journey, and completing the Asian Big Breakfast are chicken wings, Otak Otak, chilli sambal and a salad of tomato, onion, ikan bilis and limau kesturi juice to complete the delicious start to your weekend day. Corned Beef Hash with Breakfast Potatoes with the addition of fried sliced chillies and onions recall the Fried Corned Beef of her Peranakan Eurasian influenced childhood while the thick crusty bread, fried breakfast potatoes and Mesclun Salad with Vinaigrette recall happy memories of brunching in West Hollywood, Los Angeles. For Violet and children and business partners Su-Lyn, and Yiming, happy memories of meals eaten with friends and family at home in Singapore and in such far flung holiday and university destinations as Los Angeles, London, New York, Sydney and Nottingham have also inspired the brunch menu. Violet Oon's Kitchen, 881 Bukit Timah Road, S 279893. Tel: 64685430 [email protected] Moist French Toast made with brioche is topped with Bananas cooked in Gula Melaka Syrup and enriched with coconut milk, Otak Otak Panini, Smoked Salmon Scramble, Eggs Benedict and Vietnamese Pulled Pork Burrito (inspired by the LA truck food in Venice found every first Friday night of the month) – these are some of the spoils of their travels and their Singapore heritage. Sweet treats include Nutella Quesadilla, Homemade Banana Bread, Violet’s Carrot Cake made famous from the Takashimaya days. England has a sentimental place in Violet’s memory – she lived in London from 1961 to 1963. So there’s good English brunch fare such as Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Salmon, Bangers and Mash with a caramalized onion red wine reduction and Muesli with yogurt and fresh berries. So join us at VIOLET OON’S KITCHEN and enjoy delectable brunch dishes gleaned from childhood weekend meals in Singapore and from abroad. It’s not all food at Violet Oon’s Kitchen Brunch – we also have great refreshing cocktails like Bloody Mary and Sangria to pep you up for the day ahead. For those preferring a more virgin taste, there are lovely smoothies like our Banana and Honey Smoothie and a dose of healthy beverages comes in the form of freshly made fruit and vegetable juices including apple, pineapple, celery and beetroot. Dining indoors in air-conditioned comfort or outdoors in the covered terrace with its view of green in the near distance, a meal at Violet Oon’s Kitchen offers not just a delectably tasty treat but also a relaxed respite from the city stress.
