Ambience: The darker, ground-floor décor forms the trunk and features a funky art installation by local artist Donna Ong of creepy-crawlies made out of old clock mechanisms. The tables on the second level boast intricate sculptured centerpieces and unusual wall panels with oak-leaf motifs. The treetop third floor showcases a deep-blue mural with scenes from children’s nursery rhymes; a canopy of LED lights provides a tranquil night-sky effect.
Food: It’s easy to make a meal out of the exotic pan-Asian snacks, like wasabi prawns ($10), crispy oyster platter ($11), a delicious roasted duck breast with Chinese pear ($10), and the yummy mango prawn roll ($8). The bold can try the crispy pig intestine rolled around chopped scallions ($10).
Drinks: The bar carries a huge selection of wines, but the must-tries are the signature cocktails, including a mean Dirty Lychee Martini ($10) and the Kampong Freeze: dark rum, advocaat and Cointreau blended with banana and orange juice ($10). The “3 Fairies” shooter, made with red, green and black absinthe, is described as having layers “to kill”($21).
