Art, music, and great bar bites on Keong Saik Road
The small but mighty Pael.et bar on Keong Saik Road is backed by a raft of familiar names. There's industry veteran Joe Haywood (Sago House), who's curated a whimsical menu of cocktails that has everything from a Korean twist on the classic margarita to a martini infused with the essence of pasta water. Then there's chef Ash, formerly of Burnt Ends, filling the stomach with delightful small bites such as biltong watermelon tartare, and larger sharing plates that include a juicy grilled half tom yum chicken with jarrah honey glaze. Finally, it's the knowledgeable front-of-house team led by Russel Cardoza (formerly of Employees Only and Skinny's Lounge) to round out an energetic experience against an intimate backdrop of art (in collaboration with local artists) and music.
