Ghostwriter’s next incubator by Ritz Ang features flavourful Thai-inspired dishes and drinks with a tongue-in-cheek approach

Following a successful run by Spectre, Ghostwriter has transformed for its next resident - Enclave. Resurrecting the cocktail dive bar from its original location at Golden Mile Complex, Enclave will be popping up in the second-floor Club Street incubation space through early August. 

Ritz Ang is resurrecting the popular Golden Mile Complex bar Enclave.

A product of founder Ritz Ang’s cabin fever during Singapore’s COVID circuit breaker, Enclave set out to create a safe space for creatives away from the cookie-cutter deadbeat lifestyle. Attracting guests from across industries, Enclave aims to be an unapologetic space for everyone and anyone to be themselves without being subjected to prejudice or judgement. For its three-week Ghostwriter pop-up, Enclave will set the vibe with its alternative playlists ranging from early 00’s pop to 00’s pop-punk to indie music and tongue-in-cheek décor.

With flavours inspired by Thai cuisine, the food and drinks take a creative and modern approach to traditional recipes. Highlights from the dining menu include Jade Noodles (S$13), a Thai-style twist on Bak Chor Mee with minced pork and pork balls topped with spicy dried shrimp flakes, Nam Priik Ong (S$17), a Northern-Thai chilli beef con carne and Petai beans served with crispy wonton skin and sour cream, and Not a Sushi! (S$19), cured salmon over pan-seared sticky rice with crispy chicken basil oil. 

A classic Whiskey Sour.

A bright and refreshing selection of cocktails cool down the spice-forward dishes, including the Thai Basil Smash (S$21) with gin, lemon and Thai Holy Basil, a classic Whiskey Sour (S$21) and Love & Murder (S$21) with Campari, Green Chartreuse, lime and a touch of saline. A special off-menu (IYKYK) includes Thai Tea (S$23) and Dirtiest Martini (S$23) with fat-washed olive gin, olive brine and dry vermouth.

Ghostwriter offers a place for F&B operators to trial-run their concepts to the public before a potential launch, relaunch or expansion, with an intimate space that can accommodate 10 - 15 guests depending on the setup.

From now through 26 August, Enclave will be popping up at Ghostwriter every Monday through Saturday, from 6pm to midnight. Reservations are highly recommended and may be made via phone/WhatsApp at +65 83864881; space will be made for walk-ins on a first-come, first-served basis.
