You can also nom on nostalgic bakes, including orange sugee cake and Nyonya kuehs, as well as classics like kaya toast, while admiring the cafe’s interior, which sports vintage pieces and original Peranakan tiles salvaged from shophouses dating back to the early 1900s.
Violet Oon Group CEO Tay Yiming said: “Preserving culture through food is about memory, belonging, and the stories that connect us. With Bibik Violet, we wanted to create a space that feels casual and inviting, like dining at your favourite auntie’s home, where laughter fills the air and there’s always something delicious to eat.
“We are beyond excited to share the flavours of our Peranakan heritage within the century-old Temasek Shophouse, a place that reflects the same values of heritage, heart, and community, making it all the more meaningful.”
Both Martket by Abry and Bibik Violet by Violet Oon Group will open at Temasek Shophouse on Sep 29.
In a statement, Yvonne Tay, general manager of Temasek Shophouse, said: “At Temasek Shophouse, we are on a journey to build a more connected and inclusive society – whether through food that honours tradition, retail that creates pathways for communities with fewer opportunities, or coffee that enables meaningful employment.
“We are delighted to welcome Martket by Abry and Bibik Violet, alongside our long-time collaborator Foreword Coffee, and look forward to introducing a fresh approach to heritage and impact with like-minded partners.”
