This contemporary Australian restaurant and bar is honouring the island’s upcoming birthday with a slew of Singaporean-inspired cocktails. Enjoy thirst-quenching concoctions like the Ondeh Ondeh Obsession. A nod to the beloved Nonya ondeh ondeh kueh, this cocktail is filled with the flavours of rum-infused pandan, spiced rum, coconut juice, coconut milk and gula Melaka syrup. For something more nostalgic, the Malty Madness is a boozy rendition of the beloved beverage, Milo.
