New York's Hidden Gem Bar ๐, A Perfect 100/100 ๐ฏ
Singlish, this unassuming little bar with a Southeast Asian twist, was discovered by chance while waiting for a table at the neighboring Patisserie Fouet. Itโs been on my bookmark for ages, and when I finally visited, it was one surprise after another! ๐ The second-floor space is small but incredibly intimate, with a vibe thatโs pure magic. ๐ The creativity in their drinks is off the charts, with each cocktail showcasing elements of Southeast Asia. Notya Laksa A friend ordered this rum-based drink with a fruity sour mix, but the alcohol was overpowering. The flavors of pineapple, orange, and lime couldnโt balance the strong rum taste. Not my cup of tea. ๐น Die Die Must Have A pretty standard sweet fruity cocktail with no real depth or complexity. Nothing special here. ๐ ๐ Chiobu This drink gets better with every sip. The strong white liquor is initially dominant, but itโs beautifully balanced by jasmine tea and blood orange flavors, with a hint of Sichuan peppercorn adding a subtle numbing sensation. A delightful surprise! ๐ต Chope A twist on the classic Old Fashioned, this drink uses condensed milk and Thai tea for its sweet notes. The balance between the alcohol and the flavors is spot-on. My friend loved it so much she ordered two! ๐ฅค #NewYorkBars #BarAdventures ๐๐
