Cocktail and Night View at City Space Singapore



Whether you're having good or bad day, cocktail with skyline city lights is a calming doze.

Hanya perlu kurang dari semenit untuk mencapai lantai 70 di Swissotel The Stamford di Singapura dengan lift khusus. Lift ini mengantarkan saya ke tempat yang tidak hingar bingar, namun dengan pemandangan yang spektakuler.

Only took less than a minute to get 70th floor at Swissotel The Stamford in Singapore with a particular elevator. It took me to place far away from frenetic, noises, but also give me a spectacular view.


Dengan kapasitas hanya sekitar 55 orang, anda tidak perlu khawatir merasakan bar yang padat dan bising. Sofa velvet berwarna merah tersebar di ruangan City Space Cocktail Bar, dan lokasi terbaik tentunya dimana anda duduk memandang cahaya lampu Singapura dari ketinggian dimana kemudian waktu seakan melambat dan membuai anda.

With the capacity of only about 55 people, you don't have to worry about crowded and noisy bar. Red velvet sofas fill City Space Cocktail Bar, and of course the best place to sit is where you can stare the Singapore city lights from a height which make time feels slow.


City Space memang terkenal dengan view skyline yang dihadirkan melalui kaca besar di sepanjang dinding bar di lantai 70 Swissotel The Stamford, namun ada cerita di balik proses pembuatan cocktail setiap harinya di City Space.

Space City is famous with its skyline view through a large glass wall along the bar at the 70th floor of Swissotel The Stamford, but there is a story behind the making of cocktails each day at City Space.

Terinspirasi dari Jerry Thomas, bartender terkenal di tahun 1800 an, City Space masih mengadopsi "titah" Jerry Thomas yang dibukukan dalam "Bartender's Guide, How To Mix Drinks in 1862." Beberapa cara lama yang digunakan antara lain jeruk citrus yang masih diperas dengan tangan, atau sirup yang diracik sendiri.
 
Inspired by Jerry Thomas, a famous bartender in 1800's, City Space is still adopting the "edict" from Jerry Thomas in the "Bartender's Guide, How To Mix Drinks in 1862" book. Some of the old ways are still use, such as squeezing citrus by hand, or make their own original syrup.


Namun memandang butiran cahaya kota dari ketinggian membuat saya tidak perduli akan titah Jerry Thomas. Saya menyeruput teapolitan yang diracik dari The Wellness Group (TWG) tea dengan larutan vodka, cointreau dan jus cranberry serta sebersit rasa jeruk limau. Kesegaran yang cocok menemani alunan cahaya lampu disini.

However, looking at the city from a height, staring granules of lights made Jerry Thomas's command seems unimportant. I sipped the teapolitan, a blend of The Wellness Group (TWG) tea, vodka, cointreau and cranberry juice and a dash of lime. The freshness which perfectly suits rhythm of lights here.

Rhythm of Lights from Fullerton, Singapore



Bagi saya melihat bintang lebih menyenangkan dari cahaya lampu gedung gedung tinggi di kota besar, namun ada ritme tertentu yang seakan dimainkan jajaran bangunan tinggi disini, menikmati langit malam yang hitam kemudian kontras dengan warna cahaya lampu berbagai bangunan masif di Singapura.

I know starts are better than city lights in the big city, but seems like a certain rhythm came up from the lights, from the high rise buildings. See the dark night in contrast with colors of lights from those massive buildings in Singapore.


The Marina Bay Sands
Salah satu lokasi untuk menikmati city lights di Singapura adalah di area Fullerton. Naiklah ke area atas Fullerton Pavilion dan anda dapat melihat Marina Bay Sands bercahaya indah di malam hari. Atau melihat sekeliling dan menikmati lantunan cahaya dari bangunan bangunan tinggi yang seakan bersolek dengan cahaya di malam hari.
 
One of the location to enjoy city lights in Singapore is the Fullerton area. Go up to the top of the Fullerton Pavilion and you can see Marina Bay Sands glowing at night. Or, just look around and enjoy the lights from high-rise buildings which became so beautiful at night.



So enjoy the rhythm of lights!

Auckland at Night


Dihuni lebih dari 30 persen total populasi Selandia Baru, Auckland adalah kota metropolis terbesar di negara kiwi tersebut. Gedung gedung tinggi menandai kemajuan Auckland yang sangat pesat sejak abad ke 19. Meski Auckland adalah kota terpadat di Selandia Baru, bagi saya kota ini adalah kota yang tenang, terutama di malam hari.

Inhabited by more than 30 percent of the total population of New Zealand, Auckland is the largest metropolis in this kiwi country. High rise buildings in Auckland show how rapidly Auckland built itself through time since the 19th century. One thing more, even though Auckland is the most populous city in New Zealand, for me this town is a quiet relaxing town, especially at night.




Pada pukul tujuh malam hari kendaraan sudah semakin sedikit terlihat beredar di jalanan kota Auckland. Bahkan di pusat kota dan daerah downtown, kepadatan kendaraan sudah tidak terlihat sama sekali, beberapa mobil dan bus melintas namun jarang, pemandangan yang menyenangkan bagi saya yang tinggal di Jakarta dimana pukul sembilan malam pun jalanan masih dipenuhi kendaraan dan kemacetan di malam hari sudah jadi konsumsi sehari hari.

At seven o'clock in the evening the streets already quiet, far from the busy traffic. Even in the centre of the city, downtown area, the density of vehicles is not visible at all, several cars and buses pass by, but rarely, a pleasant sight for me who lives in Jakarta where at nine o'clock the streets were still filled with vehicles and non stop traffic jam are our daily dose everyday.
Sky Tower

Berkeliling downtown Auckland dengan berjalan kaki di malam hari, saya menikmati area Queens Street dimana Sky Tower yang menjadi landmark kota ini terlihat bagaikan menara di Gotham City, kota dalam tokoh imaji, Batman.

Strolling around downtown Auckland at night, I enjoyed the feel and rhythm from Queens Street area where I can see Sky Tower, the Auckland landmark which looks like a tower in Gotham City, where Batman puts his sign.
Saya tidak terlalu suka kerang jadi pilih menu ikan yang sangat enak ini :)
Di seberang Sky Tower dan Sky City, Depot tampak ramai hingga malam hari. Depot adalah cafe yang tidak pernah sepi, dari pagi hingga malam kursi kursi di dalam hingga luar bangunan Depot selalu penuh. Depot terkenal dengan hidangan kerang, hingga "Oyster Bar" menjadi tagline cafe ini.

Across the Sky Tower and Sky City, Depot looks crowded until late at night. Depot is a cafe which never empty , from morning till night all the chairs, inside and outside the Depot building is always full. Depot famous for its scallop dishes, even the "Oyster Bar" became the cafe's tagline.


Jika tidak ingin menikmati keseruan hidangan dan hiruk pikuk suasana Depot maka lokasi terbaik untuk menikmati city light Auckland adalah Devonport, wilayah pinggir kota yang persis berhadapan dengan pusat kota Auckland dimana gedung gedung berjajar membentuk melodi cahaya yang sangat indah.

If you're not into the excitement and bustle atmosphere in downtown, or you might not fond of the dishes in Depot, then get in the car and go to the best location to enjoy the Auckland city light, Devonport, a place in a suburb which location is in front of downtown Auckland, separate by the bay, where you can see buildings forming a very beautiful melody of lights.


Untuk menuju Devonport saya harus menyeberang jembatan, melewati Westhaven hingga Belmont. Di saat malam pun angin di Devonport sangat kencang. Namun jika melihat city light seperti ini, I bet you won't mind a little cold due to the strong wind. Just see and enjoy, a melody of light by human.

To get to Devonport I have to cross the bridge, through Westhaven and Belmont. Also, in the evening Devonport could be so windy. But I'm sure, when you see this beautiful city light, I bet you won't mind a little cold due to the strong wind. Just see and enjoy, a melody of light by human.
