Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen has a delicious conversation with Chef Violet Oon, the nation’s beloved Peranakan food ambassador. Her newest Bibik ("autie" in Malay) Violet Cafe at Great World brings handmade kueh, nostalgic bakes, durian specials, and comforting favourites to a warm, vibrant space designed to feel like a Bibik’s home.

She describes her two cafés as a celebration of Peranakan warmth with rattan chairs, batik accents, vintage recipe books, and heritage treasures. At the entrance, a kueh counter greets guests with handmade Nyonya treats, house‑made kaya, and kopi and teh blends.

Chef Violet shares why Peranakan cuisine is rising globally, how heritage food connects generations of Singaporeans, and why authenticity matters more than ever.

Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Mike Cherney, Southeast Asia Correspondent for The Wall Street Journal, to unpack a major development in U.S. and China tensions: the deployment of U.S. Coast Guard, fast‑response cutters to Singapore and the Philippines.

The six, 154‑foot vessels are part of a new “expeditionary cutter squadron” that were formerly deployed in the Middle East. Now, they’re operating across the Pacific to challenge China’s growing maritime power and deter moves on Taiwan or contested South China Sea features claimed by the Philippines and Vietnam.

Mike explains why the Coast Guard, not just the U.S Navy, is becoming central to Washington’s Indo‑Pacific strategy as it offers a lower‑escalation, high‑presence alternative that signals resolve without triggering conflict. We explore what it means for ASEAN security, and how China is likely to respond.
