Singapore Sling

Still haven't beaten the ones I had in a (now long gone) bar in the concourse of Marina Bay Sands. I was out in Sing back in '23 and don't recall getting one worth remembering. I'm heading out again in August. Anyone got any recommendations? I prefer the ones that are heavy on the liqueurs, and abso...

Re: Long shot. Photos of old SIngapore bar required.

Thanks for the reply.

Yeh, I hear you, re things temporary in Sing. I'd come back a year later to find favourite haunts gone. The one that has remained - thankfully - is Wing Seong Fatty's at Albert Street.

Long shot. Photos of old SIngapore bar required.

When I used to come over to Singapore in the early Noughties, I used to inhabit a bar that was attached to the Hotel Rendezvous on Bras Basah Road/Prinsep Street. It was set up like a US diner, and had a pool table. It took up the section that the 7-Eleven has in the attached photo. This is a trip d...

Pure/Unrefined lemongrass oil

Anyone know where I can get the unrefined oil, the dark brown, pungent oil rather than the distilled ones sold in aromatherapy shops? I got some once, many years ago, as a gift and loved it. I heard it may come from from the mainland Malaysia or Indonesia. Am over in two weeks so any help appreciated.

Well, I'll guess we'll pass on that one, wherever it is.

Gotta be a few others kicking about?

Re: Source for a well-made Merlion charm.

Thanks, Ecureilx. Had a quick look/search but couldn't see anything. They seem to be quite hard to come by, good quality ones, anyway.

Source for a well-made Merlion charm.

Newbie here on this site. Am a long-term Sing visitor from UK and my OH has been looking for a decent quality Merlion charm for her bracelet for quite some time now, without luck. We're back over in January and I'm asking if anyone on here knows of a jeweller or outlet that makes/stocks such an item...
