Mana Regen โจ Hot Buttered Rum ($26++) was recommended by one of the friendly waitresses. I originally thought I'd stop at 1 Christmas drink, having had a few from the regular menu already... But this sounded too good to pass up.
I was pleasantly surprised.. I loved this even more than Eggnog! Super baffled - because I eat my kaya toast without butter (don't judge), yet I'd happily drink a litre of this warm, comforting buttery rum...? What sorcery is this!?
Perhaps it was the simplicity of this drink that won me over: Bacardi 8, butter, festive spices. & as I'd mentioned above, it's served warm. So past the creamy top that gives you a comical moustache, you get that warm fuzzy feeling inside that feels almost self-healing. Mana regen ftw.
