Chilli Sable | Cocoa Pop | Lime | Mango Coconut Nitrogen

Laundry line of desserts - talk about variety! The Cocoa Pop was my favourite - the chocolate was rich & decadent, with a fun, whimsical mouthfeel from the popping candy that lingers slightly after. I liked the mango coconut nitrogen too, as it was refreshing. A great way to end the night!

💭 Honey

Beeswax Aged Mezcal | Beetroot Aromatized Wine | Cherry Berry | Smoked Honey | Citrus | Flavour-changing Pills

Bonus cocktail from Dr. Kingston Chin.. Not sure how he knew that Mezcal is right up my alley. Smokey & deep, yet playful with honey & citrus. The flavour-changing pills are quite a funny/amusing touch to it, too.

While this cocktail is inspired by honey, the other flavours & smells come together such that this drink isn't too sweet. This was one of my favourites of the night.

🍴 Tapas Pairing: 𝑨𝒃𝒖𝒓𝒊 𝑩𝒖𝒓𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒂 ($28++)
Miso | Crystal Bread | Chive Oil

This was a stellar dish - a mainstay on ANTI:DOTE's menu, & I can see why. The charred creaminess of the cheese is very much a delight! The thinly-sliced bread is crispy while not being offendingly hard. As you use it to tuck in, you'll notice a beautifully gooey cheese pull & get a whiff of the fragrance from the chive oil.

I was glad I had my own portion & didn't have to share this my dining partner 😜

💭 Cordial

Giardina Floreale infused Diplomatico Planas | Milk Washed Elderflower Suze | Pear Cordial | Orange Blossom Water | Sparkling Sakura | Aromatised Wine

This cocktail disguised as a science lab experiment comes with a step-by-step show that assembles it in front of you. The draw of this is the aesthetic amusement, & that your nose & tastebuds are tickled every step of the way. It's quite diversely fragrant from the floralness of the lavender water to the zesty citrus smells of the lemon peel.

Potato Nest | Kristal Caviar | Yuzu Ponzu

Yet again, a beautiful serving of tapas.. The yuzu ponzu added a great smoky, umami touch to it. & the yellowtail was just as amazing as the light, cronchy potato nests it was served on - I'll take these over chips or any form of potato, any day.

💭 Pandan

Remy Martin VSOP | Pandan Coconut Fat-washed Bacardi Carta Blanca | Gula Melaka | Spices | Clarified Milk Tea | Pandan | Rose Water Air

From a quick glance at the ingredients, I figured I'd like this one too... & I was right. A dark spirit. A fat-washed spirit for the butteryness. A gentle fragrant nudge of pandan. The subtle sweetness of gula melaka. I lapped up every drop of this... & much to my delight, it seemed to last forever through my many sips 😍 (lol)
