Her latest foray into the F&B scene shines the spotlight on the hawker favourite — satay — and just like her other establishments Violet Oon Singapore and National Kitchen by Violet Oon, food and ambience find perfect balance here.
At Violet Oon Satay Bar & Grill, Singapore’s satays and local BBQ comes to the fore in a beautiful setting that features rattan blade fans and patterned tiles.
