Italian: Buona Terra x Tess Bar & Kitchen
Lombardy-born head chef Denis Lucchi crosses head bartender Christyne Lee to re-look and retell classic Italian highlights, bringing not just a modern take on traditional dishes, but a Singaporean twist as well. Of course, cocktails will naturally incorporate a spirit of liquor from the country.
From SGD140 per pax, limited to 60 seats. Happens 2 – 3 March, 6 – 8 pm and 8:30 – 10:30 pm at Tess Bar & Kitchen.
Latin American: OLA Cocina del Mar x Junior The Pocket Bar
You'll get a nice journey across the different terrains of the continent, going light to heavy from street food to a deep dive into the history of Latin America and the country's many indigenous ingredients. And which bar better to complement the expedition than the bar that effectively rotates its theme biannually.
From SGD130 per pax, limited to 72 seats. Happens 9 – 10 March, 6 – 8 pm and 8:30 – 10:30 pm at Junior The Pocket Bar.
Nordic & Japanese: Zén x No Sleep Club
No Sleep Club holds its own next to the Singaporean outpost of Stockholm's three-michelin starred Frantzén. The team behind both killer coffee and reimagined cocktails will continue to push the infusion of Japanese elements into functional Scandinavian techniques with Chef Tristin Farmer.
From SGD180 per pax, limited to 136 seats. Happens 16 – 17 March, 6 – 8 pm and 8:30 – 10:30 pm at No Sleep Club.
Southeast Asia: Labyrinth x Native
Hitting the closest to home will be the menu led by Chef LG Han, prevailing Labyrinth's modern take on local cuisine and flavours. The dishes are perfectly matched with the bar that champions ingredients from the region and its resulting line-up of Asian-inspired cocktails.
From SGD140 per pax, limited to 136 seats. Happens 23 – 24 March, 6 – 8 pm and 8:30 – 10:30 pm at Native.
