Telok Ayer St

"Perhaps all you need to know about this new restaurant and bar in the heart of the Telok Ayer Central Business District is that drinks are available all day and you can kickstart your day with a cocktail at 8:00 a.m. if you so choose. The highlights on the drink menu are the five 51 Soho specials that feature some unusual Chinese spirits like the fiery Jiang Xiao Baibaijiu, a clear grain alcohol, as well as Chinese wines made from rice, plum and bamboo. These traditional liquors are made into surprisingly delicious and approachable cocktails like the "Bamboo Dream," in which osmanthus-infused baijiu is shaken with osmanthus rice wine, passionfruit purée and yuzu jam, and served in bamboo cups. Also fun is the "Prosperity Cup," a mixture of fermented rice wine and barley juice, rock melon syrup and white chocolate liquor, cheekily served with an edible fake 100 RMB note printed on rice paper." - Rachel Tan
