Auor

Award-winning chef Edward Voon is behind Wan Chai’s innovative new restaurant Auor. Named for the blissful moment that precedes sunset and inspired by the passage of time, the concept honours French culinary traditions through the vibrant flavours and diverse ingredients of Asia. At Auor, Voon serves an imaginative dining experience divided into six rounds or a longer menu dégustation. The chef recounts his formative years in Singapore in Round #2, a sui kow dumpling with Carabineros prawn, fermented black bean, scallop mousse, fennel, lemon and saffron emulsion. “Dining at Auor,” explains Voon, “is a procession of taste sensations that respect the bountiful seasons and embrace the evolving nature of life in all its beauty.”
