Native

Raffles Place

Classic drinks from this true-blue Singaporean bar are mixed with interesting curveballs

 

Inspiration is everywhere. At Native, local bartender Vijay Mudaliar demonstrates that you don’t have to look very far from your own backyard to come up with drinks that surprise and delight. That said, the sustainability champion forages for local ingredients such as mango, turmeric and cinnamon to create novel flavours in his latest menu, which we think is his strongest to date. He also keeps things fresh and interesting with uncommon ingredients, among which are the foraged ants and Sri Lankan arrak that deliver memorable drinking experiences.

“The bar offers 100 per cent locally foraged ingredients on its menu. I recommend the pandan cocktail.”—Chintan Vansola
