Craft Cocktails with a Touch of Good Fortune: Introducing DIMPLE on Purvis Street
Farah and Floyd Cowan dropped into DIMPLE: An intimate escape in the heart of Bugis
(Singapore, 6 December 2024) Tucked away in the lively Bugis district, DIMPLE is making its mark on Singapore’s cocktail scene with a distinctive blend of Hong-Kong-inspired flavours and ambiance.
With seating for just 28 guests, DIMPLE is a cosy, inviting space where relationships flourish ove
r exquisite drinks. The bar’s cocktail menu, crafted by Singapore industry veteran Head Bartender Marcus Liow, (pictured above) tempts patrons with 14 signature cocktails inspired by the Chinese principles of love, harmony, and abundance. Created with fresh, seasonal fruits DIMPLE presents balanced, flavourful concoctions that deliver unique spirit in each glass. Lychee, mango, and other lush fruits infuse drinks with depth and nuance, transforming every sip into a journey of abundance and romance.
“Signature Creations include the Passionfruit Martini, which is my absolute favourite,” writes Farah. It is bright, tangy and citrusy, some of the secret ingredients include passionfruit oolong-infused dry sake with sea salt foam. This refreshing tipple is made with Tanqueray No 10 Gin, mint, and citrus, topped with a generous helping of housemade passion fruit.

Another standout is the Mango Spicy Margarita, (above) a vibrant mix of Don Ramon Reposado Tequila, mango peel oleo saccharum, and a kick of bird’s eye chilli, balanced with house-made salted caramel and a refreshing mango and lime sorbet for a bold, zesty finish.
These unique cocktails are complemented by Hong Kong-inspired bar bites such as curry fish balls and siu mai with chilli soy sauce, bringing the spirit of Hong Kong’s street food culture to Singapore. “We envisioned DIMPLE as a place that recreates the hospitality values we hold dear to our hearts,” says co-founder Anoop Kalloor, who brings over 15 years of experience in the bar and restaurant industry. “We want our guests to feel at home in a cosy space that celebrates Hong Kong’s food and drink heritage.”
