Raffles Long Bar
"The Long Bar" is a Singapore legend. It's the birthplace of the "Singapore Sling". We ran into our friends Debbie and Johan from the Komodo- Kelimutu trip here.
A plaque on the bar proudly proclaims:
The precise origin of the Long Bar is shrouded in mystery.
Legend has it that a rather longish bar was constructed by the Sarkies Bros, the original proprietors in the early years of this century in the hotel's main building.
Here the inventive barman Ngiam Tong Boon served up his original Singapore Sling and Million Dollar cocktails.
In the intervening years the location of the long bar moved several times.
During the 1989-1991 restoration of raffles hotel, the long bar was given a new home where Mr. Ngiam's famous recipes are prepared in the traditional manner (and cost about 0!!)
