Chilli Sable | Cocoa Pop | Lime | Mango Coconut Nitrogen

Laundry line of desserts - talk about variety! The Cocoa Pop was my favourite - the chocolate was rich & decadent, with a fun, whimsical mouthfeel from the popping candy that lingers slightly after. I liked the mango coconut nitrogen too, as it was refreshing. A great way to end the night!

💭 Honey

Beeswax Aged Mezcal | Beetroot Aromatized Wine | Cherry Berry | Smoked Honey | Citrus | Flavour-changing Pills

Bonus cocktail from Dr. Kingston Chin.. Not sure how he knew that Mezcal is right up my alley. Smokey & deep, yet playful with honey & citrus. The flavour-changing pills are quite a funny/amusing touch to it, too.

While this cocktail is inspired by honey, the other flavours & smells come together such that this drink isn't too sweet. This was one of my favourites of the night.

🍴 Tapas Pairing: 𝑨𝒃𝒖𝒓𝒊 𝑩𝒖𝒓𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒂 ($28++)
Miso | Crystal Bread | Chive Oil

This was a stellar dish - a mainstay on ANTI:DOTE's menu, & I can see why. The charred creaminess of the cheese is very much a delight! The thinly-sliced bread is crispy while not being offendingly hard. As you use it to tuck in, you'll notice a beautifully gooey cheese pull & get a whiff of the fragrance from the chive oil.

I was glad I had my own portion & didn't have to share this my dining partner 😜

💭 Cordial

Giardina Floreale infused Diplomatico Planas | Milk Washed Elderflower Suze | Pear Cordial | Orange Blossom Water | Sparkling Sakura | Aromatised Wine

This cocktail disguised as a science lab experiment comes with a step-by-step show that assembles it in front of you. The draw of this is the aesthetic amusement, & that your nose & tastebuds are tickled every step of the way. It's quite diversely fragrant from the floralness of the lavender water to the zesty citrus smells of the lemon peel.

Potato Nest | Kristal Caviar | Yuzu Ponzu

Yet again, a beautiful serving of tapas.. The yuzu ponzu added a great smoky, umami touch to it. & the yellowtail was just as amazing as the light, cronchy potato nests it was served on - I'll take these over chips or any form of potato, any day.

💭 Pandan

Remy Martin VSOP | Pandan Coconut Fat-washed Bacardi Carta Blanca | Gula Melaka | Spices | Clarified Milk Tea | Pandan | Rose Water Air

From a quick glance at the ingredients, I figured I'd like this one too... & I was right. A dark spirit. A fat-washed spirit for the butteryness. A gentle fragrant nudge of pandan. The subtle sweetness of gula melaka. I lapped up every drop of this... & much to my delight, it seemed to last forever through my many sips 😍 (lol)

Peanut Tofu | Kristal Caviar | Tom Yum | Daikon

My eyes widened as this tapas pairing was served. They were almost too precious to be eaten, these bite-sized parcels of scallops. They're a bit too exquisite to be called cute, but AREN'T THEY JUST SO ADORABLE?!

Flavour-wise, this was on point, & the seafood remained the highlight as they rightfully should. In all honesty, I didn't taste much of the Tom Yum, which I was afraid would overpower this dish (it did not). Noice.

💭 Roselle

Dates-infused Baijiu | Monkey 47 Sloe Gin | Rosella Kombucha | Ruby Aromatized Wine | ANTI:DOTE Cordial | Lavender | Floral Smoke

This was a surprising experience for me. I don't like Roselle; in fact, I steer away from it in food & drinks as much as I can. However, this was different.. Maybe because it's featured in kombucha form? There's none of the artificial, plasticky sweetness that I associate with Roselle on its own.

For that matter, I'm not a huge fan of Baijiu either.. But I reckon the infusion of dates made it more palatable for my tastebuds.

I enjoyed how pleasantly floral, yet smokily deep this cocktail is. I'm making up adverbs like I own the English dictionary.. But in short, this was a great one to start with, & got me excited for the rest.

Thanks Accela Communications for the invite & team ANTI:DOTE for the hospitality! 💕

The food pairing this time was a dessert platter with a spicy chocolate ball that crackled & popped in your mouth like the old fizzy candy we used to have as kids, and a spicy & sour mango tart that was paired with mango coconut nitrogen dessert for a tart yet sweet ending to our little cocktail adventure. I can confidently say that I’ll definitely be back for more cocktails when I need some strong remedies to cure me of my life related ailments.⠀

Thank you so much for the hospitality @antidotebar.sg, and thanks for having me as your plus one @wobblethebui!

The final cocktail of the night at @antidotebar.sg was a truly worthy one for the road. The El Padrino ($25++) is a Mexican inspired cocktail that sees mezcal aged in beeswax mixed with beetroot aromatised wine, smoked honey and a dash of citrus, all to be downed after ingesting a pill that I’m just gonna assume is legal. The pill is a flavour changing pill that somehow manages to make even lemon juice taste sweet, and it revolutionises this entire cocktail.⠀
⠀
I’ve never had mezcal before, but I definitely want some more of its smoky goodness. The smokiness is lighter and less dense than the smokiness of a scotch, and it feels like a lighter drink. The mezcal is deliciously sweet thanks to the inclusion of the smoked honey & the effects of the pill, and it feels like a more refreshing & slightly sweeter whisky sour.

4⭐ Start of a feasting week. Had Italian food for lunch at Prego. My favourite bread Fococcia was served warm with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. We ordered 2 mains to be eligible for Amex Love Dining Discount. I always have a soft spot for ravioli but WB is not a fan as it's just dumpling to him. The ravioli is filled with prawn paste and complement with scallops. Frankly speaking, it's so filling just eating ravioli as a dish. Chose a non carb for the next dish so we had grilled sea bass. The fish is light and goes well with the crunchy bread crumb and pistachio.
