0 comments
Hi Huneybees,

It’s party time at PLUME, and they’re doing it in serious style. Nestled in the heart of Pan Pacific Singapore, this chic cocktail bar has become a rising star in the local bar scene since it opened in 2023, earning accolades like Tatler’s Best 100 Bars in Asia for its creative drinks, refined hospitality, and ornithology-themed cocktail menu.

Now, to celebrate PLUME’s 2nd anniversary, the bar is throwing a back-to-back bash with two unforgettable nights, ten talented bartenders, and cocktails that push the boundaries of creativity. Mark your calendars for April 11 & 12, 2025, it’s going to be a wild (and delicious) ride.


L - R: Leanne, Valerie Natasha, Sarang, Joyce Anne

Night One: Femme Friday

📅 Friday, 11 April 2025 | 🕗 8:00pm – 11:00pm

It’s all about fierce flavour and female power on the first night of celebration. Femme Friday brings together some of Singapore’s most inspiring female mixologists for an all-women takeover behind the bar, paired with live music from an all-female band.

Meet the bartenders:

  • Leanne (Baia)

  • Valerie Natasha (ATLAS)

  • Sarang (Bar Bon Funk)

  • Joyce Anne (Manhattan)

Expect bold, unforgettable cocktails - from Leanne’s Singapolitan, a vibrant lychee-strawberry spin on the classic, to Valerie’s smoky-sweet Second to None. Joyce’s NY Sour is smooth and sultry with lavender maple and plum bitters, while Sarang brings the buzz with her espresso-based +1 For Oat.

The vibe? Electric. Amanda, Sarah, and Emma will be on vocals, guitar, and drums from 8:30pm to 11:45pm, delivering live sets that pair perfectly with the night’s crafted concoctions.

Night Two: Sip Trips

📅 Saturday, 12 April 2025 | 🕙 10:00pm – 2:00am

Things heat up on Saturday with Sip Trips, a high-energy guest shift that unites six of Singapore’s top bartenders for a wild night of cocktail creativity. While DJ Chuin spins electrifying beats, these bar pros will shake, stir, and serve up next-level drinks all night long.

Here’s the stellar line-up:

  • Ralph Salcedo (Bae’s Cocktail Club)

  • Daniel Fong (SUSHISAMBA Singapore)

  • Namdev Kalipermal (Brooklyn Bar)

  • Chipito (28 HongKong Street)

What’s on the menu? Think tropical ube cocktails, spiced banana agave mixes, peach kombucha G&Ts, watermelon-Campari refreshers, dessert-style drinks with coconut foam, and even wild mashups featuring multiple spirits and fruit infusions. These bartenders aren’t just mixing drinks, they’re telling stories in a glass.

Hi Huneybees,


This Valentine’s Day, Sofitel Singapore City Centre extends a beary warm welcome to all singles to celebrate the season of romance even if you are celebrating the special day alone. Not having a significant other does not mean one cannot take oneself on a date to A Table for One, a five-course Valentine’s Day dinner on 14 February 2024 in Racines, and choose to share the evening with one of the hotel’s iconic lobby Ambearssadors against the panoramic backdrop of Tanjong Pagar, where the towering Pinnacle@Duxton meets the quaint charm of Chinatown shophouses.

Follow up with the warming Jerusalem Artichoke Velouté, drizzled with hazelnut beurre noisette, and served with truffle shavings and a truffle brioche toast.
