What visitors say
★★★★★“Food was great, love the ribs which were tender and pasta which was unique. Chicken wings were character-less, neither crispy nor drenched in sauce. Food is brought in from partner establishment situated opposite. Cocktails were conversation starters. Pho-resh really tasted like pho in gimlet form. Thunder tea rice had strong peanut taste that overpowered other elements. Lovely ambience, best to make a reservation for the low cushioned seats which are more comfortable than the high stools. Bill came up to sgd130 for 2 pax, quite pricey due to the cocktails being sgd26+ each. Complimentary sake and whisky were provided, nice freebie. Found a long strand of hair tangled in my ribs, and a piece of plastic in my water. Staff sincerely apologised. Will be back regardless, to try the tiramisu, other cocktails, and other food.”
★★★★★“We had such a lovely experience here! The host was incredibly friendly and helpful, and all the staff were so warm and welcoming. They patiently explained all the ingredients in the drinks to us and even prepared a welcome drink for us, which was such a sweet touch. The service was excellent and made us feel truly welcomed and comfortable throughout our visit. Before we left, they even took the time to ask about our opinions and experience, which was very thoughtful and showed how much they care about their guests. Highly recommended!”
★★★★★“Interesting fusion cocktail menu using native and local ingredients. The Antz 🐜 and Chicken Rice cocktails were definitely the highlights for me, so unique and interesting! The staff were also very friendly and took the time to introduce and explain the drinks, which made the experience even more enjoyable. A fun place to try creative cocktails with a local twist.”
★★★★★“Truly exceptional bar with creative drinks that make full use of the unique flavours and ingredients of Asia and knowledgeable staff who will take good care of you. They are listed as one of the Asia Top 50 Bars and deservedly so and also serve food downstairs and many of the dishes are modern dishes inspired by local and regional flavours.”
