[CLOSED] Groovy new date spot Mish Mash serves up 1-for-1 wine-cocktails, mochi waffles & retro vibes

Looking for a new date spot to spice up date-nights with bae? Mish Mash, the glitziest new opening in Singapore, might just be what you’re looking for.

Opened by the prolific Proper Concepts, architect of thriving homegrown restaurants such as The Feather Blade and Rappu, this new gastrobar promises a night full of groove, booze and plenty of saucy innuendos.

Unlike many of the more bougie establishments that litter neighbouring districts such as Outram Park, the modishly retro Mish Mash brings a much livelier and youthful energy.

Mish Mash bar can be found along the bustling South Bridge Road, behind a semi-hidden entrance that slides open when a “press for champagne” button is triggered.

Inside, you’re greeted by swathes of technicoloured neon lights and a glistening disco ball to set the mood.

Looks aside, the music is also curated towards a more vibrant ambience; it cycles through everything from funk to house, depending on the time of the night.

That energy is evident in the gastronomic and beverage offerings on Mish Mash’s menu as well.

This means a menu filled with quirky fusion bites that aren’t easily pigeonholed into specific genres. They are also accompanied by a deluge of creative wine-based libations crafted by co-founder and beverage director Boo Jing Heng. 

Boo’s CV should be enough to convince most cocktail lovers. He’s the 2016 winner of the Diageo World Class bartending competition and a former principal bartender of Jigger & Pony, which is regularly ranked as one of the top bars in Singapore.

To sweeten the deal, Mish Mash is offering a persuasive one-for-one wine-cocktails promo for its opening month of June — no strings attached.

So don’t be shy and bring a date along to enjoy the drinks and ambience. The bar’s wacky — and borderline salacious — drink names such as Bubble Butt (S$24) and Carnal Carnage (S$22) are a sure-fire ice-breaker.

Go for the former if you’re into bubbly drinks. It’s one of Mish Mash’s tangy champagne-based concoctions, and features champagne, jalapeno pickles and lager.

Mish Mash’s eclectic tipples also feature wines across the whole gamut, such as the red-wine-focused Cocoa Climax (S$24) and even a sake-forward Adam & Eve (S$24) for Japanophiles.

The menu will be regularly updated, with new “vintages” (a playful moniker for the individual cocktail collections) planned quarterly. 

If cocktails don’t tickle your fancy, the bar carries various wines on the menu, too, with a diverse selection ranging from traditional reds to funky natural oranges.

Feeling peckish? You can also dive into Mish Mash’s menu which features a… mish-mash of flavours from all over the world.

The Moffles (mochi waffles, S$16), in particular, present an interesting savoury twist with smoked onion dip and ikura (salmon roe).

When it comes to bigger plates for sharing, Mish Mash has pasta fanatics covered with the handmade squid ink tortellini (S$22) that comes with prawns and lobster emulsion. 

On the other hand, those who enjoy the theatrics of oozy cheese will relish the chance to cut into the fried Bari burrata (S$26), topped with pesto espuma and tomato chutney.

If you’re feeling famished, then the heftier New Zealand lamb saddle tandoori (S$48) might be worth checking out for its imaginative marriage of edamame hummus and coin prata.
