Best things I’ve had for under S$10

Seniors of the Kreta Ayer-Kim Seng Constituency who were involved with the Cookies For Charity Programme were recently treated to an appreciation lunch by Asia Pacific Breweries Singapore (APBS) at chef Violet Oon’s restaurant.

And the 63-year-old celebrity chef was more than delighted to be involved.

“Being now an oldie, I can identify with the seniors that APBS engages with at Kreta Ayer. I wanted to share with them a really slap-up meal.”

She tailored her Nyonya section of her menu to serve up softer, less spicy dishes that all the elderly could enjoy. Thinking of bringing out your grandparents for some good grub? Oon shares some local favourites that are healthy and perfect for the whole family. FARAH DALEY

Cantonese porridge from Tion Shian Porridge Centre (265 New Bridge Road)

I love the porridge here. It serves good Cantonese-style porridge and everything – from the menu to the way orders are taken – still stays the same.

Yong tau fu from 109 Teochew Yong Tau Foo (Food Republic, Suntec City, 1 Raffles Boulevard)

I also find that Yong tau Fu is great as it is a really healthy dish for seniors. The vegetables in the dish are perfect for a healthy diet.

Tau hu goreng from Rubiah Malay Stall (887 Bukit Timah Road)

I love salads and think that the tau hu goring is a great form of a local salad. The sauce is pretty shiok too!
