Buzz: A bona fide cocktail bar that's just about two months old, co-founded by Ethan Leslie Leong and Leonard Low - yet another welcome addition to the buzzing heart of Chinatown.
Décor: With a primarily white colour scheme (the chairs, sofas, walls, curtains and even chandeliers), the vibe is chic but not stuffy. And of course, it comes complete with the requisite dim lighting.
Food & Drinks: First of all, don't expect to find any beer or wine here, although Dom does make an appearance. It's all about the art of mixology here, with a list of cocktails ($22-38) organized by flavour. Pick from drinks such as strawberry Frangelico sour, basil caipiroska or Red Ruby martini.
There's also a special flambé martini ($28). Also try the White Russian, Brandy Alexandra or chocolate.
If you're feeling peckish, bar bites include pizzas ($25 upwards), pastas ($23 upwards), chicken yakit garlic butter escargots ($28).
Music: Chill-out tunes that are undeniably groovy but not too up-tempo.
Crowd: At the moment, it's mostly yuppies working in the area and Lamborghini or Ferrari-driving types. You can help change that.
Why you'll be back: For those days after work when the only reward should be a luscious, well-mixed concoction (or several).
49/51 Kreta Ayer Rd.; 6557‑0538; Open Mondays to Thursdays from 11:30 am to 1 am, Fridays and Saturdays from 11:30 am to 2 am
