DISCOVERY, CRAFTSMANSHIP, JOURNEY
FOREWORD
Our menu is inspired by Singapore’s i l lustrious history of bountiful trade,
colonial charm and tropical splendour.
Inspired by five key districts of Singapore, every cocktail reflects their colours,
f lavours and historical anecdotes – thoughtfully disti l led in a glass.
Let our cocktails be your compass as you taste your way through flavours
and ingredients unique to Singapore, reminiscent of the colonial era through
exploration, growth, and trailblazing modernity.
Teetotalers can also enjoy the tropical voyage through non-alcoholic cocktails
that celebrate local botany and fruits - from refreshing citrus
to the aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans.
All on board? Your voyage begins here.
