Poh's first in-restaurant experience

The Singleton has partnered with Poh Ling Yeow to bring her first in-restaurant experience to life with a pop-up at Melbourne's QT Hotel. The Singleton's Delicious Discoveries train runs from now until May.

Upending the traditional notion of aperitivo hour, The Singleton’s Delicious Discoveries train serves up desserts and savoury delights on a sushi-train-style conveyor belt while guests sip on The Singleton’s signature Plus Two cocktails in between mouthfuls of eight different sweet, savoury and surprising dishes.

The menu is a suitably colourful affair including a roster of never-before-tasted delicacies inspired by a trot around the world and designed to bring out the sweet, nutty and fruity flavours of The Singleton, including fried chicken, kimchi and kewpie mayo bao and french fries with an anchovy cream sauce. Sweet temptations strawberries, mascarpone yoghurt, roasted almonds, aged balsamic and basil and a cheeky Easter take on old favourite; apple miso caramel turnovers with vanilla crème fraîche.

Poh Ling Yeow says: “I wanted to take The Singleton’s unique world of single malts into a new flavour realm, playing on QT’s signature quirk to create a dining experience that is bursting with colour and taste. For my first restaurant takeover, I ignored the sensible and embraced the playful.”

The Singleton invites new whisky drinkers into the world of single malts through its delightfully adaptable Plus Two cocktails designed to be paired with delicious, playful snacks that are too tempting to resist. Simple in its approach but vibrant in flavour, The Singleton Plus Two serve is an equal parts mix of The Singleton plus a choice of one sparkling and one still mixer.

Rich yet approachable, eight paired cocktails have been created to complement Ling Yeow's dishes including Orchard - The Singleton 12 Year Old, apple and pear juice, Appletiser; Tropical - The Singleton 12 Year Old, guava juice, grapefruit soda and Mediterranean - The Singleton 12 Year Old, apricot nectar, lemon tonic.

As part of Delicious Discoveries, QT Melbourne’s stellar line-up of mixologists will serve a “create your own” The Singleton Plus Two cocktail menu allowing guests to pick their own wildly creative mixers to pair with The Singleton, limited only by their imagination and flair for flavourful theatrics.

Katie Nagar, The Singleton National Brand Ambassador, says: “The Singleton Plus Two of equal parts The Singleton 12-year-old, a still mixer, and a sparkling mixer, is a winning formula that works with all sorts of ingredients from the sweet to the nutty to the bitter, delivering a cocktail that has maximum flavour with minimum fuss. The Singleton flavour pairings will only be enhanced through the rich and deep flavours of Poh’s cooking, best enjoyed together in the comfortably quirky QT surrounds."
