There’s also a refreshed menu at ATLAS and a cool sake delivery service that’s new in town.
Michito Kaneko: Guest Shifts at Tess Bar and Neon Pigeon
Feeling the mid-week blues? Get your tipple fix from DIAGEO Global World Class Bartender of the Year 2015 and owner of Nara’s Lamp Bar, Michito Kaneko. He’ll be in town to introduce his Mars Iwai whisky cocktail creations. Distilled in Shinshu, Nagano Prefecture, Mars Iwai is Japan’s third largest whisky producer. Look forward to drinks such as the spirit-forward FROM FOREST (森から) featuring housemade forest bitters and ingredients like hinoki and burdock, as well as the bizarre yoghurt-infused Colourless (透明).
A Revamped Menu by Executive Chef Loki Lynch at ATLAS
Sitting at No. 5 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2019, ATLAS is not only one of Singapore’s swankiest drinking places, but also a showstopper when it comes to their food. With a new direction from Executive Chef Lachlan ‘Loki’ Lynch, the dining menu showcases a range of dishes, from mains such as the Pan-Roasted Market Fish that’s drizzled with creamy lemon yoghurt, to smaller biters like Mini Lobster Rolls and the Lamb Kofta. Dig in!
