NATIVE is a new bar in the city that whips up bespoke cocktails featuring regional ingredients – yes, even the ants
Weeks after we dissected a commercial foraging movement in its nascence, Native, a new cocktail bar that looks to showcase foraged ingredients sets up shop on Amoy Street. “The idea is to have 10 per cent of my ingredients from foraged sources,” says Vijay Mudaliar – the bar's founder who was previously from Operation Dagger. The 27-year-old first shot to international fame when he emerged winner in the 2015 Diplomatico World Tournament Singapore Final with his rum-based cocktail named ‘Jewel of The East’. It was inspired by the 1945 Japanese occupation of Singapore and crafted with sweet potato compote with pandan, cinnamon, cardamom and rum liqueur. Now it seems he continues this ethos with a repertoire that seeks to connect the guest with Singapore’s surroundings – if not literally with foraged ingredients, then an underlying philosophy of celebrating Asian flavour profiles.
