GOOD TASTE<br />
BEYOND<br />
PEANUTS<br />
We want more from the bar snack<br />
menu than just wings and assorted<br />
nuts. Here are some places that<br />
serve real food with their cocktails<br />

REASON TO TIPPLE<br />
The always-daring Ryan Clift,<br />
chef and owner of Tippling<br />
Club in Singapore, is renowned for<br />
his creative and playful culinary<br />
offerings. So it makes sense that<br />
Tippling Terrace — his alfresco bar<br />
— has an equally innovative menu<br />
of bar snacks to match its summer<br />
cocktails. There’s no pre-packaged<br />
or reheated frozen food here. The<br />
entire Tippling team of bar and<br />
kitchen have worked together<br />
to concoct tasty snacks to tempt<br />
the palate. Think confi t duck bao,<br />
truffl e risotto and polenta fries with<br />
homemade ketchup. Wash these<br />
down with signature cocktails such<br />
as Hello Mother (Ketel One vodka,<br />
Burmese citrus, Burmese honey<br />
and bitters) and you’ve got the<br />
perfect combo.<br />
WHAT MAKES THE TIPPLING CLUB<br />
SNACKS DISTINCTIVE?<br />
It’s classic snacks but done with a<br />
signature Ryan Clift twist; this is our<br />
point of difference from other bar<br />
snacks. They are made fresh and from<br />
scratch. We maintain the highest<br />
standards by making everything by<br />

hand, not using food out of packets<br />
and thrown in the fryer.<br />
HOW SHOULD THE SNACKS<br />
BE EATEN?<br />
They are designed to be shared and<br />
enjoyed with a group of friends in a<br />
casual atmosphere.<br />
HOW IS CONCEPTUALISING A BAR<br />
SNACK MENU DIFFERENT FROM A<br />
RESTAURANT MENU?<br />
Bar snacks should be things that are<br />
tasty and complement the cocktails.<br />
They should also be affordable<br />
for everyone.<br />
WHAT MAKES THE PERFECT<br />
BAR SNACK?<br />
Good variation. They should be<br />
hearty and complete the experience<br />
of drinking cocktails with friends.<br />
Our snacks whet the appetite for<br />
more cocktails.<br />
