Haven Street have become something like a place to go for food recently. Previously, whenever i walked past this area, it was very quiet at times. With the opening of Via Tokyo & Mammy pancake, suddenly the whole place has been revitalized. Recently, another restaurant specializing in cocktail has opened at this street too, right up to the end. Some renovation is on-going at the building, so bamboo scaffolding can be seen outside the shop.Shop was decorated in a very modern chic way, with black
Some renovation is on-going at the building, so bamboo scaffolding can be seen outside the shop.
Shop was decorated in a very modern chic way, with black colour as the theme. Once we entered the place, it gave us a very cosy feeling. On the left, there are lots of liquor lying inside the chiller and table. Over at the bar counter, there were even more. Most of them are needed for the bartender to concoct drinks for customers.
They operate from noon to midnight, 1am during Fri & Sat. It was kind of surprise to me that they closed so early since their business is mainly on alcoholic drinks. For their drinks menu, they do have happy hour from 3pm to 8hr. Besides their signature cocktail, they sold imported beers as well. Their food menu is mainly on light snacks & desserts, as seen on openrice. When the staff told us that they do serve main as well, we were quite surprised. We decided to go for it as we were both hungry too.
As this place specialize in cocktail, i will definitely order one. The waiter told us that beside the cocktail on the menu, they offer omakase cocktail as well, which is not on the menu. Since this was not commonly found, i decided to order it. Price of it was around $160 compared to the usual cocktail of $120. From the looks of the photo, the bartender really took pride in his own art creation. The drink was served on a black tray, with some fruits and syrup for us to taste too. From what i can taste, the drink was concocted out of gin, lemon and lime etc. It was a good way to start off my hearty meal as the drink was sour and alcohol content was quite strong too.
Fried crab cake with capsicum confit & mustard aloli - I enjoyed this appetizers alot. Even though the portion is quite little, but it was made of real and fresh ingredients. When i took a bite, i could see all the crab meat in it, being blend before deep frying it. It was very crispy and tasty.
Beef Tenderloin with sweet potato, leeks & mushroom stew with brandy sauce - As this place was very alcoholic, even their beef sauce must be done with brandy sauce as well! It was served with other vegetables too, so i will not feel too stuffed by all the meat. Beef tenderloin was done nicely, tender and chewy, yetstill retaining some redness on the meat.
