The Singapore Sling was created at Raffles Hotel (Singapore) at the turn of the century by Hainanese-Chinese bartender, Mr Ngiam Tong Boon.
In the Raffles Hotel’s museum, visitors may view the safe where Mr Ngiam locked away his precious recipe books, as well as the Sling recipe hastily jotted down on a bar-chit in 1936 by a visitor to the Hotel who asked the waiter for it.
