Nutmeg & Clove

Singapore

The DNA of this bar is Singapore in essence – it's as simple as that. The team, helmed by head bartender Yung, is proud of the city-state's heritage and history and strives to reinterpret Singaporean flavours into progressive cocktails, often using familiar local ingredients in a way that tells the stories of Singapore itself.

The latest menu, Community, celebrates the businesses and individuals who live and work alongside Nutmeg & Clove, from bakers to farmers, craftsmen to coffee makers. Take for example Thow Kwang Pottery Jungle, which is home to the only surviving dragon kiln in operation in Singapore, dating back to the 1960s, represented on the menu by the Clay It Cool, a cocktail inspired by the bisque firing process with nutty, creamy and fizzy notes. The Dirty Kopi is a testament to the classic Nanyang-style kopi (or coffee) that continues to be enjoyed across Singapore, even as espresso beverages increase in popularity. Founded in 1988, Kim Guan Guan is one of the true masters of this style of coffee and this heritage is celebrated with a spicy, fruity, warming cocktail that incorporates rum, KGG cold brew coffee, cherry brine, berry tea, fino sherry and black sesame foam.

The team's love of its homeland extends to the food offering, too. Choose the chong qing wings and the Ikan Assam pedas, or the rendang mac and cheese for a satisfying bite of East meets West. All will fill your belly and warm the soul.
