Singaporean Hawker Food-inspired Cocktails
Love the food that this sunny island has to offer? Then you’ll definitely enjoy these three hawker food-inspired cocktails! From kaya toast to laksa, these creative flavours are as Singaporean as they come. Have a taste of them on your visit here, but remember to always drink responsibly!
Laksa Cocktail
For a cocktail that is as fiery as the tropical heat, look no further than this frothy concoction that recreates the creaminess of laksa by mixing coconut cream with lime and lemongrass, and the seafood flavor by infusing vodka with dried shrimp oil. Seasoned with fresh laksa leaves, chili padi, and sugar – and voila! You get a heady blend that’s both savoury and spicy.

Kaya Cocktail
Kaya toast, a Singaporean breakfast staple, now comes served to you in a glass. With Mount Gay rum as a base, this sweet cocktail combines English breakfast tea, peach liqueur, honey, fresh lemon juice and egg white for a decadent offering that satisfies those annoying late night cravings for the original dish when it’s nowhere to be found.

Mr Bean
Ask any Singaporean about tau huey (soy bean curd) and you will probably hear a mention about Lao Ban, indisputably one of the best around. Well, take that and shake it with vodka, butterscotch liqueur, Frangelico and kaya, and you have the Mr Bean cocktail – served in a bamboo bowl for you to slurp from. Yum!
