Raffles Hotel - Writer's Bar

Date: 18 August 2007 19:00 (Saturday)

I have had feedback from some of you that i have, in your exact words, "damn a lot of cock to write" and hence i shall attempt to write a short one...

During my last visit to The Bar & Billiard Room with Felix, i was reasonably impressed to decide that i was going to bring Wen here to experience the wondrous spread of seafood. I'm not going to write about our dinner cos it's going to be largely similar to the previous entry. But i am going to write about our Pre-dinner drink.

Writer's Bar is this small little bar that sits around 10 which is located just outside The Raffles Grill. It has a long history and apparently there have been numerous literary greats (including a certain Rudyard Kipling) who have sat here sipping on single malts and writing books that have touched millions of hearts. It's a pity that i did not have my writing pad and pen otherwise i would have added another great literary name to that list.... :p

Yes, back to the pre-dinner drinks... Wen had a shot of Ballantine's 12 years on the rocks while i had a single shot of Glenmorangie 10 years straight up. That cost us $16 and $20 respectively.... the price one has to pay to attempt to pretend to be a literary great!

After dinner, we were in for a pleasant surprise.... Fireworks!!!

Enjoy!!!
