Colonial Club Signatures at Paragon Shopping Centre brings Singapore's rich culinary heritage to life through a menu that celebrates the multicultural influences that have shaped local cuisine. Located at #B1-43 in Paragon along Orchard Road, this Muslim-owned halal restaurant offers a sophisticated dining experience that honors Singapore's colonial past while embracing contemporary culinary techniques.
The restaurant's concept revolves around three distinct culinary traditions: Hainanese-style Western cuisine, Nyonya dishes, and British-Colonial influenced local favorites. This unique fusion reflects Singapore's history as a British colony with a large immigrant population, where Hainanese chefs working in colonial households adapted Western dishes to local tastes, creating enduring classics like chicken chop, steak in black pepper sauce, and Hainanese curry rice.
Signature dishes include the visually striking Nasi Lemak Tower, a deconstructed presentation of Singapore's beloved coconut rice dish that elevates the humble breakfast staple into an impressive culinary centerpiece. The menu also features traditional Nyonya specialties like ayam buah keluak and itek tim, showcasing the Peranakan culture's complex flavor profiles developed through generations of cultural synthesis.
The restaurant's interior design complements its culinary concept, featuring stylish rattan chairs and marble tables that evoke colonial-era elegance with a modern black-and-white aesthetic. Open daily from 11am to 10pm, Colonial Club Signatures offers both dine-in and takeaway options, with delivery available through platforms like Oddle, Grab, and Foodpanda. The restaurant has expanded beyond Paragon to include outlets at Changi Airport, bringing Singapore's heritage cuisine to international visitors.

What a shame. On so many levels. Firstly, we regret that we only discovered the wonderful classic Hainanese legacy soulfood food & beverage offerings at Colonial Club Signatures too late. They've been around for 6 years at Paragon and we had no idea as we realised we've not been there for nearly a year. I mean the food as we wonderfully acknowledge, tucking happily satiated and impressed, is not only good but truly authentic. When you name your eatery Colonial Club Signatures I had high expectation. Especially when it passed the truth test of the humble basic chicken rice they offer. Suffice to say my daughter ordered another bowl to go with her classic Hainanese Chicken Rice set. And she — being a digital gen not fully clued in on the colonial era which they abhor — love the food too. For us, who looked for halal options of food we previously could not eat, it is not just a treat and delight but a discovery of flavours not necessarily second nature to us and our staple diet.
The other frustration and regret is that just as we were planning to add Colonial Club Signatures to our family's goto list in the heart of Orchard Road the friendly man who was at the till shared that they are due to vacate by the end of the first week of next month in November. He explained that someone else is taking over the hidden gem spot. We suspect part of it is cost as rent hike is not uncommon. Nor is the aggressive bidding some would.
Truly what a shame. Such a quiet degustation halal Hainanese soulfood treasure and we really hope it will pop up somewhere else in Singapore.
So please support them to the end. Not that they are not filling tables - it was fully patronised - but we're about to lose a good one.

This is a very conveniently located restaurant. Seven of us came here for lunch, and ordered a variety of dishes. We were disappointed that a few of the classic nonya dishes were not available, including the chicken buah kuluak. The signature Nasi lemak with otak and beef rendang was delicious. The laksa, chicken rice, cendol and coconut milkshake were "average". There seemed to be a lack of richness in many of the dishes. Generally the service was good, and the atmosphere was pleasant. For a Sunday lunch, we were glad that it was not overcrowded.

Passed by many times but always chose to go to other restaurants. Despite its unassuming store front, the menu selection is wide, and the food is pretty delicious!
We had a big group, so we were able to sample quite a number of dishes including the kway teow, laksa, chicken rice, nasi lemak, and colonial platter. I'd personally rate them in that order. Also tried the drinks, including the Hainanese tea which was an interesting blend of kopi, teh, and Milo.
The waitresses were all very accommodating and served us with smiles. Happily assisted us in snapping group photos, too. Much appreciated!

Took some time to locate in the basement of paragon mall, but all in all would say it was just about worthwhile. My signature nasi lemak was delicious and the softshell crab laksa was I’m told tasty of slightly odd tasting. Service was atypical for Singapore but more helpful than some places. Ordering is done through the web app

Came here specifically for the milk tea affogato. Very unique. 2 scoops of milk tea ice cream, with corn flakes in between & served with kopi (coffee).
Spent a few hours here chilling & doing some reading in the afternoon. Quiet, clean environment.
