Loof @ Odeon Towers

loof3

Loof has reopened with a nostalgic twist – mama shop included! While ventilation is not hugely better than the last concept, it is highly dependent on the weather for an enjoyable time. For the whole time I was there, it was too hot for comfort.

menu

Indeed, there's always room at the top.

I wonder how the hotel guests take to the noise.

barview

A pretty cool ledge seat...to watch traffic 5 storeys above.

mamashop

If drinks do not entice, how about some knick knacks from the Mama shop?

whiskey

Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt 12 Years ($15)

An obscure one that pleased the whiskey lover.

gummiberry

The Gummiberry ($17)
Gin, cointreau, raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, meringue

Jammy, would be apt to describe this cocktail that comes with a torched meringue top. Reminded me of Banoffee drink at Wild Honey. The blend of raspberry, strawberry and blueberry was pretty viscous and could pass off as a runnier version of the fruit preserve. Delicious drink with a mild hint of alcohol and I found it a tad too sweet.

bandung bloom

Bandung Bloom ($17)
Vodka, Rose syrup, Calamansi Juice, Sparkling wine

No plastic pink hues in sight, this rose petal dusted cocktail was all that there is. A calamansi infused cocktail. Bandung bloom, where?

flies

Loof Flies ($9)
House French fries, cucumber wasabi sauce, curry ketchup, spicy mustard

Fries in a gardening can with a trio of sauces which barely matched up to the description. These fries were pretty much like potato wedges, marinated before frying and ended up with the distinct aftertaste of oversalted bar food. 

dips

Dips were not extraordinary.

If anything it was the heat that discounted the experience. Would love to head back to try their spicy saucy edamame, fried mantou and lamb rack lollies!
