EVERYTHING ABOUT SINGAPORE

We can all agree that the surest way to be reminded of home is through what we consume. For that reason, Maison Ikkoku hopes to evoke homely sentiments in its guests. To start things off, it’s reinterpreted bartender Ngiam Tong Boon’s original Singapore Sling cocktail into five distinct iterations. One version, the Independence Sling, is a Campari filled with herbaceous notes to represent the country’s journey towards sovereignty. The theme of home extends into the restaurant’s food menu. It includes Kambing Bakar (left), a frenched rack of lamb marinated in herbs and pandan leaves, and Hey Mee, Hokkien noodles packed with lobsters and pork cracklings. Delicious and authentic, they successfully capture the essense of local cuisine that will always have a room in our hearts.
