Rhodora (Dora) Amurao is no stranger to the Singapore cocktail scene. During her time at upscale Japanese steakhouse Fat Cow, where she served as Senior Captain and Hostess from 2014 to 2017. Under the tutelage of the then Head Bartender, she quickly learned the basics of bartending and the art of flavour infusion. She then moved to the now-defunct Japanese restaurant Teppan by Chef Yonemura as an Operations Executive, guiding cocktail pairings for diners.
Rhodora’s tenacity and eagerness to learn has resulted in her role today leading the talented team of bartenders. Dora leads the charge for The Lobby Lounge’s new cocktail menu, which takes guests on a seamless journey from day to night and features drinks that trace the history of Bugis and Bras Basah in five chapters. Local herbs and spices such as star anise, cloves and cumin, are delicately infused in the cocktails, beckoning guests to discover the rich history surrounding the InterContinental Singapore.
