Worth a sling

From 17 Feb, Maison Ikkoku’s ground floor space converts to Sling, a Singapore Sling and Peranakan concept. Five variations of Singapore Slings include the Original ($26), harking a return to using Cherry Heering and juniper forward gin, Independence ($25) with addition of Campari for a spirit forward bitter, dry creation, and Coco ($28), served refreshingly in a whole coconut. Founder Ethan Leslie Leong has also created a menu of elevated Singaporean cuisine in homage to his grandmother. D.I.Y Popiah ($36, vegetarian) brims with beansprouts and turnips, while the Hey Mee ($38) Hokkien noodles with rock lobster steals the show as it is flambéed tableside. Turmeric chicken ($28) and wagyu rendang ($45) retain a faithful homemade character. 20 Kandahar St. Tel: 6294 0078
