Ah, the bee’s knees of bars, Trigona was the first Malaysian bar to make it to the World’s 50 Best Bars list in 2020 and ranked Malaysia’s Best Bar for three consecutive years by Asia’s 50 Best Bars. Named after the stingless bee that makes the highly-coveted honey used in the bar’s signature cocktails, Trigona is famed for carefully crafted creations spotlighting hyperlocal, sustainable produce and ingredients. For the new menu, titled ‘Foraged Malaysia’, the team foraged across the four regions of the country — Sabah, Sarawak, Peninsula and the Islands — to create 16 cocktails (with a few inspired by bak kut teh, laksa, and even teh tarik). A must-try is the Kunyit Royale, a concoction of Monkey Shoulder, Prosecco, Trigona honey, turmeric leaf, and four gingers.
