A few days back, small aunt took
my sis, big aunt, grandma and myself
to Long Beach at Raffles Hotel.

I think I must have bee living in ice
age or something…

My first time to Raffles Hotel, very colonial
feel and grandeur…

Anyway, the main purpose was to give a shot
at the alcohols. For good fun =)

My aunt shared with us that her first alcoholic
drink was Barcadi Coke…

So that was what I had:

The transparent liquid on the left
is Barcadi and on the right is coke.

So what you have to do it mix
them together and stir it.

Nice =)

And we ordered a few other drinks…
which includes Singapore Sling, erm
and two others that I don’t remember
the names…mosquito sound alike..haha..

Ohh…and this is one of the few places where
you openly litter the floors with the shells
of ground nuts which are served.

And one interesting lingo that I learned was
how the waiter will ask….

“Madam, would you like to keep the tap running
or close it?”

What he meant was, do you want to close the
bill now or have more drinks.

My aunt promptly handed her card over and
say to him to, “hold it”.

And she explained that this is to ensure that you
don’t run away without paying for your drinks.

Nice place, nice ambience, nice drinks… =)

Thanks aunt!
