6) The Elephant Room

The Elephant Room

The Elephant Room takes its cue from the culture and history of Little India in Singapore. Take a sip of The New Mango — a combination of gin-based cocktail with white sesame drop, acid-washed green mangoes and Indian cheese. If you prefer Indies rum-based cocktails, go for Made in Kolkata (clarified butter, ghee, banana cider & mustard) or Farmer’s Joy (fermented rice wine, caramelised camphor & lacto turmeric). Also, look out for their daily Happy Hour Menu available from 6 pm to 7.30 pm.

Leave it to award-winning mixologist Ricky Paiva to concoct your drink while you sit back and relax at the cosy Flow Bar. The cocktail menu is uniquely categorised under Living Room, Garden, Office and Playground. And interestingly enough, eclectic mixes of ingredients are used to represent each of the names here. Take the Living Room selection, for example as one of their drinks includes Burnt Lemon Whisky Sour — a comforting blend of Wild Turkey Bourbon with burnt lemon and sweetener.
