Retro Cocktails!
A couple of friends wanted to attend a ‘Sunday Roast’ event with me, knowing that I’ve been trying out several places already, around Singapore.
I have already been Muddy Murphy (in Orchard), Penny Black (Boat Quay) and the Bank (Raffles Place) – and I think one other place – already. So this time, having done a bit of research, I found another few places to try.
The website City Nomads already done the main bit of research for me, so it was quite easy to then choose one from here. I didn’t want us to travel far, so I will probably check out some of the far reached places another time, so we settled for Retrospective – which is meant to be a retro bar with a great Roast. As one of the guests doesn’t eat beef, I also ensured we chose one with another ‘roast’ option.
Roast Beef – Looks Bland, Tastes Good!
It wasn’t that busy – but they did have another table of 6 and 2 when I arrived. The music and atmosphere definitely was pretty retro, and it was a nice setting.
The location is near to a family friend’s place of work, and Outram Park was just around the corner – which is where I was staying for a few weeks when I first came out to Singapore at the beginning of this year – so I knew the area pretty well already.
It was a short walk from Outram Park MRT, and there were quite a few nice bars and restaurants around – so I am certainly going to return and try out some of these again.
And my views of the meal, it was nice – definitely good quality of beer, nicely cooked (medium), but I must say the dish looked a bit dull and bland (but it was tasty), due to the colours featured. They hid the veg under the meat, so it looked pretty brown throughout the dish. I would say 7 out of 10 for the beef Sunday Roast dish.
