(Tasting) Although I had enjoyed @elephantroomsg’s food before (as delivery during Circuit Breaker last year), this was my first visit to the two-year-old cocktail bar, thanks to Annette (@fat_fuku) who invited me to join her. Located a floor above Burnt Ends on Teck Lim Road, the cosy place founded and run by Yugnes a.k.a. “Yugi” (@cocktailmahout) and his team, serves a selection of original tipples and a smartly-curated food menu that are inspired by Singapore’s “Little India” as well as his family recipes. Because Annette is a teetotaler, he concocted her a mocktail of fermented grape molasses soda garnished with betel leaf. I am not a cocktail fan but made an exception when I spied rasam as the star in the “Pina Rasam” ($24++) because I do love the clear, sour South Indian soup. This lip-smacker, crowned with frozen pineapple and crisp curry leaf, featured rasam powder cooked with pineapple skin, tamarind and a spirit that was then blended and distilled. For the final step, it was mixed with clarified tomato juice and pineapple vinegar. I loved every sip, not least because it paired very well with the food served: 1. Pappadum & Trio Chutney ($10++) - We were all over this super moreish combo of spiced hyper crunchiness and chutneys in mint, coconut and chilli flavours. Our hands-down fave had to be the chilli one. So, so good! 2. Garam Masala Hummus ($12++) - Served with warm chapati, it’s like no other hummus I’ve had and I mean that in the best possible way. Definitely worth getting as the carbs are substantial and can help soak up all the alcohol you’re bound to imbibe during the course of your evening. 3. Fried Chicken Burger ($18++ for single chicken thigh, $21++ for double chicken thighs) - I’ve devoted an entire Instagram post to what was the standout item of the night for me, so I shan’t say more here than this is a 10/10! 4. The Elephant Room Curry Chicken ($23++) - Served hot with warm #putumayam (soft rice noodles in a disc shape), I found the hearty portion of fragrant, spicy chicken curry very tasty and satisfying. Thanks again Yugi for hosting us 😊

【醉過方知酒濃，多飲方知貧窮︱#愛喝酒的長尾猴群體類別】 與人類共存的動物，或多或少也會受人類生活所影響。聖傑氏島的長尾猴就有了喝酒這個習慣，更出現與人類相似喝酒群體。 研究人員從位於加勒比海的聖傑氏島捕獲了1000隻長尾猴，將牠們放在一個模擬的社會群體，研究牠們的喝酒習慣，發現了以下的4類群體： 1. 禁酒者 (Teetotaler) 15%的長尾猴不喜歡或很少喝酒。 2. 社交喝酒者 (Social drinkers) 大多數長尾猴喜歡將果汁與酒混合一起喝，只會在其他長尾猴陪伴下喝酒，午餐前也不會喝酒。 3. 經常喝酒者 (Regular drinkers)： 15%的長尾猴喜歡喝正常的酒，不喜歡混合果汁。經常喝酒的長尾猴在群體中表現很好，是優秀的領導者，擁有良好的統治能力，能維持猴群秩序。 4. 酗酒者 (Binge drinkers) 5%的長尾猴喝得很快，會喝到昏迷為止。喝完後會打架，就像人類一樣。這個群體中有很多年輕雄性，如果能不受限制地獲得酒精，他們可以在2至3個月內喝酒至死。 有人認為喝酒是由生活帶來的困苦造成，但儘管沒有任何經濟問題，實驗中的長尾猴依然酗酒。故這並非讓長尾猴酗酒的原因，也不是讓你酗酒的原因。 那麼，大家還記得讓你第一次飲酒的原因嗎？ ------------------------ ◆ 應用程式登錄IOS及Google Play ，立即下載：《Beginneros網上學習平台》 ◆ 網站：https://www.beginneros.com/ ◆ Facebook：Beginneros ◆ 每日分享冷知識 ------------------------⠀ #冷知識 #香港 #hongkong
