The Weekly Grub: 5 Things To Eat And Drink In Singapore This Week

PUBLISHED March 17th, 2021 06:00 am

This week’s lineup offers elevated dining experiences from various locations around the island, with one of them being your home. Featuring a grand total of not one, but two Michelin stars, and two creations by Asia’s best bar, this Weekly Grub is bound to set you up for a star-studded meal.

Enter Cassis & Rose (200ml: $34, 500ml: $78) and Martini 2021 (200ml: $33, 500ml: $76), the two new handcrafted concoctions of PONY’s line of bottled cocktails, by Asia’s best bar Jigger & Pony. The former features notes of blackcurrant with a smokey finish, almost like a grown-up version of your childhood favourite Ribena – perfect for a boozy dessert. The latter is PONY’s zesty take on the King of Cocktails, with citrus essences of Amalfi lemon and Buddha’s Hand on a base of Roku gin. Time to bring your cocktail game at home to the next level.

Origin’s Executive Set Lunch (from S$34++) got a whole lot better with their three-course Milk Punch pairings (additional S$28++). Wash down appetisers like the Capellini Pasta with the refreshing and delicious Grass, featuring Altos Plata tequila, pandan, lemongrass, wheatgrass, and milk wash. Choose your main course, and the good folk at Origin will recommend either the Minerals or Tannins for the pairing – the former being a base of Jameson Whiskey and apple, and the latter sporting Martell V.S.O.P, black tea, and pomegranate. For dessert, the Prosperity Pineapple is served with Nuts, a concoction of Havana Club 7 rum, almond, hazelnut, and coconut wash.
