VEA Lounge

This is yet another Antonio Lai’s, award-winning mixologist from Hong Kong, intervention. He is conspiring with Derek Tsui and Michelin-starred Chef Vicky Cheng in delivering a densely packed punch on the list of near 20 signature cocktails inspired by the cuisine and techniques of Asia and other parts of the world, as well as the art of deconstruction and reconstruction complete with Asian style snacks available to accompany each beverage.

Sitting on the 29th-floor balcony of VEA Lounge, right up close against other behemoth towers, is in some ways a more breathtaking setting at night than any rooftop bar with a harbourview. The drinks themselves are imaginative, taking risks where it matters. The Bone Marrow Old Fashioned is an inspired take on a classic, while Goddess In The Sky perfectly blends earthy and floral notes for a memorable tipple. The Instagram-friendly Whooo’s Chai comes in a generously-sized bronze owl tankard and retains its smoke and spice-laden taste to the end.
