Weekend in Singapore

You can ask and answer questions about travel advice in Cambodia or just share your pictures and videos with us.

Raffles Hotel, famous for its Singapore Sling worldwide is under major renovation. The Long Bar was initially moved to a piano room on the ground floor and continued to serve Singapore Sling, on August it was moved back to the original Long Bar on the 2nd floor.

Went there on Saturday night for a drink. Still looked the same except for a mechanical shaker machine smack in the center of the bar top

Ordered the Singapore Sling and what a disappointment as it seemed its become more dilute less intense. So for $28++ or $32.50 its really not worth it. Don't think will ever go there again

Agree that it is an iconic location but the drink is not worth the trouble or the expense.. No longer on my list of places to visit. =@
