Talk about affinity in numbers and alphabets ! The laws of attraction must have brought me to the doorstep of this lovely place again. My latest F & B hangout of choice shares the same initials as my name and its address bears the same numerals that are of importance to my very existence. The dimly lit marble tabletop makes for a charming ice breaker for the long conversation you will have with close friends or new acquaintances alike. Music in the background is just audible enough to exchange a hushed conversation. Perfect place to bring an old friend to catch up on old times. You'd be surprised how many words of truth will flow after a few drinks and the cosy atmosphere amongst plush leather chairs one would hate to get up from. The deftly hand carved ice balls are also worth the watch as the bartender conjures and shakes up a storm of cocktails based on whatever catches your fancy / mood that night. Maybe and just maybe i will feel cheeky enough to pose the impossible request by asking for a drink that brings hope to the weary heart instead of just any strong potion to numb the senses. Sometimes a plate of fruit is served in addition to a plate of crisp wasabi chips & wafer thin strips of yummy prosciutto. You can also order in sashimi and fine dishes from its neighbour restaurant - ZEN to go along with your drinks. Look forward to a night of 2-3 drinks minimum before you leave the bar completely satisfied with the A-list service from hot towels to an excellent library of every drink/cocktail imaginable.
Its latest branch in the posh Gangnam area in Seoul would be the perfect place to bring my new korean friends for a drink or two. For now, I would have to settle for the cosy UE square branch till I scrape enough moolah to experience the bar in Chiba & Seoul. Gambatte !!! http://www.coffeebark.co.jp/tenpo/tenpo_singapore.html
