Three unique events, each offering a cross-cultural taste journey, will feature collaborations with acclaimed chefs and bars, and promise an unforgettable experience for cocktail aficionados and food lovers.

A fiesta of flavours: Dry wave cocktail studio meets Chef Diego

Starting off strong,  F*nkytown will be hosting a night of vibrant food and cocktail pairings featuring Chef Diego Zarco from the upcoming Delia Mexican Eatery, and Palm Supawit, Co-founder of Dry Wave Cocktail Studio, on 29 August from 7 PM to 11 PM. In collaboration with Diego’s menu, Palm will craft exclusive cocktails like the Super Cool Margarita with Don Julio Tequila and cucumber essence, and the F*nky Paloma with Ketel One Vodka and a spicy chilli twist.

Chef Diego will showcase vibrant Mexican dishes, including the Grilled Oringi Tostada with burnt cauliflower cream and salsa macha, and the Miso Flan, a savoury-sweet dessert that’s not to be missed.

Penang Cocktail Festival with Backdoor Bodega

Get ready as F*nkytown transports guests to the heart of Penang by hosting an exclusive guest shift featuring Backdoor Bodega on 3 September. From 6 to 10 pm, this event will spotlight a menu inspired by Penang’s rich culinary heritage, with standout creations like the Bael Lassi Fizz, a bright mix of Fords gin, bael & pandan lemonade, and jujube; and the daring Durian Sticky Rice, blending Jura 12 Years whisky with jasmine rice nectar and a durian float. Also on the menu is the Teh Teh Tarik, which offers a playful twist on a local favourite, with Jura 12 Years whisky, Thai milk tea, brown sugar boba, and cream cheese froth, adding a comforting finish.
