Axis Bar and Lounge

Inconspicuously tucked away at the side, away from the attractions that are Mortons Steakhouse and Melt the world café, is Axis Bar and Lounge. Chill-out with the gorgeous view of the Marina Bay area right in front of you. MY HAPPY PLACE! :D I could spend the whole day there. Unfortunately that day I went, the windows were misty -.- I couldn’t see the view at all, such a pity.

Anyway, the drinks are good, and the bar snacks were simply awesome!

This has to be the most interesting accompaniment to my drink ever. Wasabi chips which packed a real punch – they were kick-ass spicy! I popped one into my mouth, and the zing just totally woke me up! Good if you’re starting to get intoxicated on the alcohol, this is perfect to prepare you for more drinks to come.

I ordered the stately romance cocktail ($24), which was earl grey infused gin with lychee puree, rose syrup and fresh lemon. I couldn’t really appreciate the earl grey, which was what struck me for every mouthful I took. But I like how it mellowed down to a gentle aftertaste with the rose and lychee flavours. it's such a prettily girly drink! :)

Mummy ordered the ginger mojito ($24). She felt that it wasn’t gingery enough, but I thought it was! It had the spiciness of old ginger. Not really my type.

Yi had the chocolate sin martini ($20) which was similar to that at mortons! Absolut vanilla, with crème de cacao white & brown and chocolate syrup. A decadent, smooth drink that could beat a dessert hands down!
