So when local voiceover actress Caitanya Schmickrath-Tan was in New York, she was amused to find a bar named after something we are all familiar with —

Other interesting drinks are Relak Lah!, which is a barley tea highball; and Chope, a Thai tea washed scotch.Though some may take offence at our local slang being used so loosely in another country, Caitanya said she was "not mad at all".In the comments, many amused netizens shared that they loved the concept behind the bar.While the Singlish cocktail names used are pretty accurate, the bar, which was founded in 2022, is surprisingly not the brainchild of Singaporeans.
