Hyde at 53M

Always the place for me to go for a glass of cocktail. Bartender carefully prepare a drink that suitable to your taste.

Don't be afraid to chat with the bartender about your preference. I had a drink with gin base, with hint of mint and coriander. It's very tefreshing.

A wonderful night at this hidden Cocktail bar. A small selection of cocktail on the menu but you can order anything from the bartender.

No idea what to have ? Let the bartender know about your preference and they will do the magic. You gonna love your drink ♡

In the picture old fashioned. Whiskey, bitter,sugar cube. It's a joy to enjoy the view of how your drink are made.

30 Shades (RM40)
A wondrously light and refreshing drink. Perfect glass to start your night off in the right alcoholic direction. The pairing of Earl Grey tea with gin produces a mild concoction that is meant to tease rather than overwhelm your senses. It is soothing all the way through, from your tentative sip to the lingering taste after. It may have 20 shades less but the drinking experience of this is far more pleasurable than reading its literary namesake.

The Last Word (RM40)
You get a brilliant fragrance of herbs from the chartreuse, particularly juniper upon the first sip. Then comes the more subtle taste of Hendrick's; a notably lighter gin that seamless slips into the missing piece of the puzzle here. Topped off with a dash of lemon for a citrusy finish, you have an enjoyable beverage. Admittedly, the two skewered maraschino cherries were more eye candy than anything else as it adds an extravagant sweetness when dunked into the drink but it does give it the cry for attention the drink deserves every time you glance at your glass.

Kazi's Ron 47 (RM40)
There is a menu version of this called Ron 47. Do yourself a favour and request for Kazi's version. The difference is significant and distinct. The production of this is a month of smoke and brew done by Kazi himself. Gimmicky as it sounds, the effort merits this drink an individual mention of their own compared to the menu version. Now to the drink itself - this is a stiff sniff, with no intrusive odours or flavours to mask the true scent as it is served neat, poured straight from the decanter. It is the type of drink that you take a whiff of and instinctively recoil in self defense. Only thing I can say is the brave will be rewarded. This drink goes down smoother than silk, sharply contrasting the dangerous scent it emanates. The fragrance stung so sharply that I jokingly told Kazi that it should be renamed Subsidized Petrol instead, in reference to the smell and the original name. He may have taken a liking to it so perhaps order this in that name instead and be greeted by a cheeky grin and mischievous look from Kazi himself.

Tip: The cocktail menu is changed every fortnight. However, if you know what you like, the bartenders are more than happy to oblige to any individual drink requests. If you find nothing on the menu excites you, be brave and speak to the bartenders for something off menu and perhaps unearth a hidden gem of a drink or two for yourself. Special thanks to Glen and Kazi for entertaining the above drink requests.
