No.5 Emerald Hill in Orchard
Beautiful cocktail bar No.5 Emerald Hill at Orchard has recently introduced a range of Ol’ School Tong Shui Dessert Martinis. These Chinese dessert-influenced cocktails are served out of their charmingly rustic old Peranakan shophouse.
Located at an eight-minute walk from Somerset MRT Station, this two storey watering hole is also adorned with meticulously curated antique furniture to match its exterior.
Their Chendol Martini (two for $28++) nails the texture experience with contrasting textures of chendol jelly and bits of crushed iced, replicating a legit bowl of chendol. Don’t be fooled by the first sip of rich and creamy coconut cream, as the Havana Club rum packs a sweet alcoholic punch.
Their Red Bean Martini (three for $33++) infuses grape and peach soju with red bean ice cream and a dash of watermelon, making for a sweet and fruity combination. Leaning more refreshing, their watermelon juice lightens the martini. Just like their Chendol Martini, a strong kick of alcohol is present from the first sip.
Along with their perpetual all-day 1-for-1 martini pairings, they are also known for their note-worthy bar snacks that sets them apart from other watering holes.
One of which is their Signature Chicken Wings ($21)—essentially a har cheong gai infused with Chinese wine. These crispy chicken wings are umami and juicy, creating a good balance to the sweeter drinks.
New to the menu is their bite-sized Prawn Toast With Mentaiko ($16). With prawns marinated by No.5 Emerald Hill’s house-made sauce, the crustaceans are fried till crispy before being topped on a toast that is doused with mentaiko sauce.
