28 Hong Kong Street 28 Hongkong St Singapore 059667
Oxwell & Co. 5 Ann Siang Road, Chinatown Singapore 069688
Selera Rasa Nasi Lemak 2 Adam Road #01-02 Adam Road Food Centre Singapore 289876
Named Best Bar at Drinks International’s Asia’s 50 Best Bars Awards this year, 28 Hong Kong Street keeps a low profile. Set in a shophouse, it blends perfectly into its surroundings. Apart from an inconspicuous “28”, there are no clues to the bar within. As with suprises and mysteries, this one is something spectacular not to be missed.
If you’re looking for a classic Christmas diner, head down to Oxwell & Co where they serve up a true British Christmas. Think traditional roasts, mash, gravy and Yorkshire pudding, charred Brussels sprouts, roast potatoes, cold cuts while enveloped by the nostalgic House of Oxwell experience. Upon stepping into Oxwell & Co’s front door, you will find it hard to ignore the convolution of copper piping behind the bar’s wall – the drinks from the tap off these piping, are brewed in-house. From the lighting to the heritage construction, get ready to be overwhelmed with nostalgia of the Colonial days.
Nasi Lemak is a light meal that comprises of rice made fragrant with coconut cream and pandan leaves which gives it a distinctive flavour. One of the must try local dish, Selera Rasa’s tops the chain with even our Prime Minister hosting his breakfast there. Think fine and flavourful grains of rice accompanied by a rich and sweet chili. This is one dish you will want to try.
INSIDER TIP You may expect only hip hop classics to cascade from those speakers and cocktails named after rappers amplifying the term “underground”.
INSIDER TIP Go straight for the roast Westholme beef with a side of Brussel sprouts and pair it with sides for a hearty Christmas meal.
INSIDER TIP While there, pair your meal with a glass of Teh Tarik, a milk tea beverage, for the best local dining experience. be prepared to queue as there is always a crowd at the stall.
TALK LIKE A LOCAL Know slang from the streets. Leh Try adding ‘Leh’ to the end of a sentence to give them a local slang. It’s practically applicable in most scenarios.
