Found this bar through the other apps recommendations and decided to give it a try. Drove all the way there with pretty high hopes, unfortunately, it turned out to be a lesson in how online hype doesn’t always translate to real world quality.
I ordered a Whisky Sour and a Lychee Martini.
The Whisky Sour was completely unbalanced, the whisky and the sour elements were working separately, not together. Every sip was either too sharp or too flat. After just two sips, I had to give up on it entirely.
The Lychee Martini was even more disappointing. There was no trace of lychee at all, just a harsh martini flavor that burned going down. For a cocktail that’s supposed to be sweet and light, it felt overwhelmingly strong and unpleasant.
After serving the second Lychee Martini, the bartender did ask, “How’s the taste?” Honestly? From the very first sip, we already knew it wasn’t it, but by then, we’d seen enough of their “skills” behind the bar to know it wasn’t worth the energy to comment further.
To their credit, a more experienced looking bartender (possibly a senior) later brought us two shots, sake based, with cucumber notes. Those were surprisingly refreshing and well balanced, and honestly the only drinks of the night that felt like they came from someone who knew what they were doing.
RM281 later, I walked out with a clearer understanding of how not to make cocktails.
Won’t be returning, and I’ll be side-eyeing every Lychee Martini I see from now on.
Edit after owner’s response: There was a faint aroma of lychee, but the drink was dominated by bitterness and a burn that lingered long after. It was uncomfortable to finish, more punishing...
Read moreI had the pleasure of visiting Remedy for the first time, and it was an unforgettable experience! Nestled in a charming shop lot in Paramount, this hidden gem opens its doors at 6 PM most days, setting the stage for an amazing evening.

Read moreAnother 5 stars cocktail bar in town! Like their atmosphere especially the playlist they choose, golden oldies from 70s to 80s, really rare as most of the cocktail bars love to play those templates r&b fusion songs which non of them could hit your heart. Good taste btw! Their signature cocktail which is the Bak Kut Teh cocktail, they serve it with their diy bkt snacks, really good, it’s like you’re eating bkt but it won’t make you gain weight like how you usually gain those fats from the real bkt lols So far my favorite cocktail is Sugar Baby, must try! Attentive and humorous bar...
