The cocktail movement in Singapore in particular started from this canonical bar - 28 HongKong Street
In fact, I didn’t plan visiting but when I opened Google maps to plot my route back to the hotel, I noticed that I was in close proximity to this bar.
The bar has absolutely no signage, advertising or anything to indicate that there is a bar... I was greeted by a quiet atmosphere, dimmed lights and low-pitch background music.
When looking at the menu my eyes were scattered - the ingredients in the cocktails sounded extremely promising, but I had to choose wisely as cocktails looked to be quite strong.
The first to choose was the Jesters reflection
Fifteen-year-old Rum, Cachaça Yaguara, ruby port, banana liqueur. A strong but tasty cocktail. Served with dried banana skins for a bite - perfect.
Second and last- Right hook Royale.
Santa Teresa 1796 (rum), evaporated red wine rosé, cacao liqueur (cacao rinomato aperitivo), Apollo milk wafer, aromatic beater (scrappy's).
A Negroni-style cocktail, but with a twist. Bitterness with a long sweet aftertaste, wine aromatics. Perfect!
It's no coincidence that the bar is still in the top 50 Asian bars for the last years.
By the way, all bartenders were cheerful tattooed ladies. Mix it as good, as many men can't
Definitely will visit again
