Salted Egg Lava Croissant at Antoinette

The ultimate blend of East and West, Antoinette’s new Salted Egg Lava Croissant is a an exquisite viennoiserie that taps into Singapore’s love for salted egg yolk. Traditional French butter and dough is used to construct the fluffy croissant body at a set temperature of 12ºc, while its filling is made out of a blend of natural salted egg yolks, sugar and milk, resulting in a light but indulgent confectionary that’ll definitely have pastry lovers coming back for more. This is #eggyolkporn at its best.

The Salted Egg Lava Croissant is currently only available at the Penhas Road outlet.

New Rooftop Bar at Oxwell & Co

Rooftop bars in Singapore might not be the in thing right now, but that hasn’t stopped British gastro-pub Oxwell & Co from jumping on the bandwagon. Designed by the folks behind Hendrick’s Gin, Oxwell & Co’s new rooftop space is stylishly placed next to its very own urban herb garden, and customers can expect a list of cocktail concoctions that are influenced by botanical produce.

Oxwell & Co is located at 5 Ann Siang Road, Singapore 069688, p. 6438 3984. Open Mon 4pm-12am, Tues-Fri 12pm-12am, Sat 4pm-12am, Sun 12pm-12am.

With great whiskies, awesome rock & roll tunes, and cool dive bar vibes, it seems pretty impossible for The Flagship to get any more dope that it currently is…Until mixologist and Bulleit Bourbon’s Global Brand Ambassador Tim Judge jets into town on 5th February for a guest-bartending shift, that is. From 9pm to midnight, visitors can expect awesome bourbon this Friday.
