Housed in the historic grandeur of the former city hall, National Kitchen’s location and name cannot be more apt, with its championing of Singapore’s myriad flavours through a medley of familiar favourites that are popular with locals and tourists alike. Headlined by the culinary doyenne of Singapore, Violet Oon, every dish on the predominantly Peranakan menu is meticulously researched and beautifully presented. Other Singaporean signatures such as prawn paste chicken and Hainanese chicken rice are also available. Whether one chooses to dine in the 1920s-inspired wood-panelled grand hall, or the outdoor terrace flanked by 30-foot Corinthian columns overlooking the equally historic Padang and Marina Bay skyline, National Kitchen promises an experience that’s best savoured within the historical walls of this iconic building.
