If the cacophony of Clarke Quay on a Friday night isn’t your thing, then this bar is right up your alley. One of Orchard’s best-kept secrets, this cosy spot is tucked in a snug passageway, far from the maddening crowds of weekend revellers. The interior seamlessly blends vintage Peranakan charm with modern interior design, and features gorgeous wood furniture paired with elegant leather upholstery.

The menu here is just as charming as the decor. One of their best-selling dishes - Crispy Buttermilk Chicken with Waffle is a tasteful burst of sweetness and savoury. Inspired by local hawker favourites, the signature Ha Cheong Kai Mid Wings boast the perfect combination of crispy, crunchy skin and soft, tender flesh with the perfect marination of shrimp paste.

But while the food here may be impressive, it is the signature sips that truly make it stand out. Thoughtfully handcrafted, the meticulous attention to detail is clear in tipples like the Apocalypse Now, featuring a ball of ice in the centre, topped with a lemon and orange peel, swimming in a heady mix of Jim Beam, Campari, and Grand Mariner. The Dragon Heart, is another exotic cocktail featuring gin, lemon, and dragon fruit juice. (Aug 2018)
