Ah Sam
Cold Drink Stall With retro-looking biscuit tins and glass tumblers lining its interior, this newcomer to Boat Quay may not have much in the way of pizzazz, but the classic cocktails—negronis, old-fashioneds—are among the most sought after in the city-state. For beverages with a local flourish, bartender and owner Sam Wong suggests the Beaded Slippers, a Peranakan-inspired mix of gula melaka, coconut milk, azuki beans, and rum. For a tipple with counter theatrics, try the sangrita, which Wong makes using the Japanese hard-shake method for mixing cocktails (60A Boat Quay; 65/6535-0838).
