Bibik Violet: Where Peranakan Heritage Meets All-Day Café Charm

Step into a home away from home, where the kopitiam aroma of toasted kaya, warm sugee cake, and bold kopi greets you at the door. Opening on 29 September 2025 at Temasek Shophouse, Bibik Violet is the newest gem from the Violet Oon Group — a vibrant, all-day Peranakan café and bakery where everyday flavours come to life with wallet-friendly prices, fuss-free service, and a whole lot of heart.

A Modern Love Letter to the Peranakan Bibik

If Violet Oon’s signature restaurants embody grandeur, Bibik Violet brings the spirit of the bibik — the wise, warm matriarch of the Peranakan kitchen — to a casual café setting. Nestled within the heritage-rich Temasek Shophouse on Orchard Road, the 54-seater eatery celebrates the Singapore you grew up with: comforting food, shared tables, and stories that unfold between spoonfuls of laksa and sips of kopi.

The interiors are just as evocative. Designed by Tay Su-Lyn, Creative Director of Violet Oon Group, the space marries vintage Peranakan tiles with rattan-backed furniture, tasselled lamps, and vibrant batik and tropical prints. Look out for artefacts from Violet’s personal collection — even her treasured cookbooks make a cameo.

All-Day Dining That Tastes Like Home

Whether you start your day at 8am or pop by after dinner, Bibik Violet’s menu is an ode to the everyday family table. Begin your morning with Kaya Toast, Soft-Boiled Eggs, and a bracing cup of traditional kopi — or try the Hae Bee Hiam Toast for a bolder bite. Craving something heartier? Mee Siam and Chicken Macaroni Soup offer warmth in every spoonful.

Lunch and dinner bring out the stars: Nasi Lemak, Nyonya Laksa, Prawn Mee Soup and one-dish wonders made for solo diners or sharing with loved ones. Pair them with small plates of Achar, Ngoh Hiang, and Kueh Pie Tee. For the full feast, order classics like Babi Pong Tay, Buah Keluak Pork Ribs, Udang Pedas Nanas and Curry Chicken — all best enjoyed with fluffy white rice.

Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nostalgic

At the heart of Bibik Violet’s bakery counter is a kaleidoscope of Nyonya kueh and nostalgic bakes — made fresh in limited batches every day. Expect signature treats like the Orange Sugee Cake, Cempedak Cake, Banana Pound Cake, and Pandan-Gula Melaka Chiffon. Kueh lovers can pick up Kueh Salat, Kueh Ambon, Ang Ku Kueh (Peanut, Yam, Sweet Bean), and Kueh Talam, alongside delightful tarts like Pulot Hitam and Pineapple & Coconut.

Need a sweet finish? Try the Almond Jelly Longan or the velvety Sago Melaka — light, creamy, and made with restraint that speaks of experience.

Kopi, Teh, and the Art of Slow Sipping

You cannot leave without trying Bibik Violet’s signature Singapore-style kopi and teh — brewed using traditional methods where beans are roasted with sugar and margarine for that deep, nostalgic aroma. Whether you take it kosong, with condensed milk, or somewhere in between, the cup is always strong and satisfying — just like Bibik would make it.

Opening Specials to Warm You Up

From 29 September to 30 November 2025, enjoy 10% off your first bill and a welcome treat — either a cup of kopi/teh or Water Chestnut Sugarcane with every sign-up for Bibik Club membership.

Take Bibik Home

From kaya jars to cake boxes, Bibik Violet’s growing retail collection lets you bring the flavours of home wherever you go. Whether gifting to a friend or filling your pantry, everything is crafted with heritage in mind — and wrapped in Peranakan charm.
