The Singaporean chef’s namesake restaurant takes bold swings to reimagine Southeast Asian classics, resulting in some confusing experimentation but also a killer pandan lime cheesecake worth coming back for.

Edward Voon, the Penang-born Singaporean chef, has found a celebrity-adjacent niche in the Hong Kong dining scene — I once witnessed his Auor restaurant in Wan Chai become an after-hours party venue for actor Louis Koo and his entourage. So it’s unsurprising that it took several weeks to get a reservation for dinner at his new Kennedy Town establishment, Voon. The opening in June was attended by a no less of a star than Carina Lau.
When I finally did get a table on a recent Saturday night, dinner with three guests came to HK$3,582 ($460).
