THREE X CO
Made out of brotherhood, craftsmanship and mixology, Three X Co is the latest edition in the speakeasy scene within the region where its concept is inspired by blending oriental cultures into the prohibition-styled “speakeasy” bars trending across the world today.
The idea started when three friends once dreamed about opening a bar of their own. After many years later with each having successful careers on their own, they came together to make their dream a reality. Wong Wai Hung, Managing Director cum Founder of Image Genius Sdn Bhd, co-owned with friends Eugene Yeoh and Daniel Gunawan, began putting things in motion and was introduced to Mixologist Consultant David Hans, Asia’s first World Champion of the Giffard West Cup 2017 Competition, making him partner and Hans’ first signature bar.
Carefully curated furnitures and lightings are placed within stylish decors of dark blue shades scattered across the surroundings of the bar that gives Three X Co a sense of class and warmth for patrons visiting the bar. The well-stocked bar not only serves unique crafted spirits sought from all over the world but also a specially curated cocktail menu designed by Hans himself.
THE DECEASED
Horror doesn’t get enough representation when it comes to the service industry (Certainly an odd thing to pay attention to), you can only imagine the surprise and excitement when people start to discover that a horror-themed bar is tucked comfortably in the center of one of the most happening cities in the world.
Dramatic, atmospheric and undeniably eerie, the ambience of the place is creepy enough with red mood lighting, but add in a few popping balloons and fake limbs here and there, you have the perfect blend of fun and frightening. With its creative attempting in fusing oriental and Malaysian ingredients, The Deceased’s cocktails are chillingly satisfying, crafted by mixologist Steven Wan. Daring and creative, the team behind The Deceased is extremely committed to their craft. Whether is its shadowy staircase lit by bulbs wrapped in Taoist talismans, or its devotion in crafting a menu of unique offerings that evoke the theme it’s so committed to, The Deceased is destined to be a bar to be remembered.
