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.
Enjoy Jigger & Pony’s New Creations from Home
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.
PONY cocktails are available for purchase online. Prices range from S$32-S$34 for their mini 200ml option, and S$74-S$78 for their standard 500ml option. Jigger & Pony is located at Amara Singapore, 165 Tanjong Pagar Road, Singapore 088539. Open Tue-Sun 4pm-10.30pm. Closed on Mon.

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.
