ALL IN THE MIX

Music, food and myriad libations come together in the new Tanjong Pagar hideout, temper.

- 

The lower case “t” may seem subordinate in today’s nomenclature of restaurant names, but there is nothing secondary about temper’s intentions. The new presence in Tanjong Pagar’s ever-growing, ever-morphing dining scene from Ebb & Flow Group aims to hit the highest notes in all aspects it embodies.

Is it a bar, a club, a restaurant? How about all of the above. The venue serves up intuitive wines, eclectic dishes, cocktails, hospitality, and soundscapes that slide between moods. Located adjacent to Mondrian Singapore Duxton, temper takes its name from the ‘quiet precision behind every great pour; where temperature, texture, and timing align’. For sure, the name does not emanate from temperance of any kind. Quite the contrary.

The 4,000 sq ft space channels Bauhaus clarity and cinematic warmth. Defined by raw materials, sculptural geometry, and softened by moody light, a sweeping arched portal and layered terrace cove ceiling tie the intimate wine room above and buzzier cocktail lounge below.
