Room 0202

Giap asked me if I enjoy sweet drinks or desserts; I don’t, but kept an open mind.

Damn. This surprised me greatly. It’s not actually that sweet; quite balanced from the furikake & foam.. It ended up being my favourite of the night.

Also worth noting that this is the only cocktail that is served warm (& thus, takes a bit more time to prepare 😊)

I surprisingly enjoyed the lighter drinks that I started off with, & was curious about the more spirit-forward drinks (congruent with my usual preference).

This one took it up a notch & also came with delectable nibbles on the side. It was dark & mysterious & became my favourite of the night thus far..

This was a thirst-quenching highball that came with unexpected complexity & depth. I'm pretty intrigued by pine as an ingredient in this cocktail.

I'd chose the flight of 4 (not the full set), of which this cocktail (2nd out of the full 6) isn't a part of. But Giap was so kind as to pour me a portion to try!

This isn't the actual presentation glassware iirc. Apparently, this has been quite a crowd favourite thus far.

Symphony, Harmony ($25++)
🔸 Roku Gin
🔸 Peach
🔸 Sen Cha
🔸 Verjus
🔸 Symphony 6
🔸 Dill

Starting off with the first on the list; this one is as refreshing as it looks/sounds. The flavours are light & delicately balanced.. I found myself smacking my lips in delight as this chilled drink melted* my corporate slave woes away.

*What an oxymoron

The reservations-only Room 0202 is a very cosy & intimate space, where you'll be enthralled by the sneak peek of the R&D that goes into the Nutmeg Collective.

They have a selection of 6 cocktails; you get to choose a flight of 6 (i.e. everything for $118++) or 4 (a pre-determined set for $88++)... & then you sit back, relax & enjoy. I particularly loved the jazz music played throughout the night, & asked Giap if it's publicly available on Spotify (spoiler alert: It is 😁).

Cocktails are served individually & in a specific order; lightest to heaviest, & at your own pace. The servings in the flights aren't the full portion (2/3, specifically - & of course it's not the full price per drink).. If you have space to have more cocktails thereafter, there is that option to get the full-sized cocktail, priced individually.
