Hidden Gem in Orchard

Address: The Backdrop, 581 Orchard Road, VOCO, 01-15, Singapore 238883 Price: 💰💰 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My partner surprised me with a date at The Backdrop, a hidden spot in Orchard. It was fun to figure out how to get in. To enter: You scan a QR code at the door for a queue number. We went at 8pm on a Friday, and although the stated wait time was 30 minutes, it ultimately depended on guest turnover. After about an hour, it was our turn. Once it's your turn, scan another code to enter. Inside, there's a cool 1800s theme. Here, we snapped photos and read the riddle on the mirror. It'll give you a hint to unlock some free treats. Upon entering the closet, you'll be greeted by the wait staff, who will lead you to your seat, with your name written on a photo. The menu has themed drinks, around $27 each. With every drink ordered, you'll get a playing card. You'll have to collect a certain number of cards a seating in order to redeem a treat. The drinks were strong, so we only had one each before leaving for a massage. Overall, it was a fun date experience. I suggest booking ahead to avoid waiting. #familytrips2024
