It used to be that kebabs were what you ate in the wee hours after a long night of drinking. Well, now you don’t have to wait till you’re a few drinks down. The same people who brought you the ever-packed, Japanese-fusion Neon Pigeon at The Working Capitol are now taking inspiration from Imperial Istanbul for Fat Prince, a new bar in Tanjong Pagar that combines cocktails with kebabs. Decked out in shades of blue and brown, the place exudes glamourous pre-World War II vibes, what with the dark wood shelves and cabinets, the arabesque mosaics on the walls and the low-hanging lamps.
You’ll be able to choose from 10 types of “taco sized” kebabs (starting from $10), with options like the classic spicy beef and the modern duck and pistachio kofte. Pair them with their indulgent hummus, made with duck fat. They also serve hearty brunch fare with dishes like pides (ranging from $16-$22) and Turkish-style scrambled eggs.
On top of serving traditional drinks such as their Turkish coffee and tea, and housemade sodas with spices such as cardamom and ginger, Fat Prince also does innovative tipples, such as the peppercorn Negroni (peppercorn, rose gin and sweet vermouth) and Ginger Tea Collins (vodka, lemon,ginger and turkish syrup) and et cetera, along with bottled beers from Jordan, Lebanon and Morocco.
