Bumbo Rum Club

A spanking new Caribbean influenced restaurant and rum-centric bar, cleverly named the BUMBO RUM CLUB is one of the most happening spot to hang with your friends. We loved the swanky tapas and hearty mains on the menu and of course the rum laced cocktails that many raved about. The Club boasted a whopping collection of 76 rums from more than 20 countries, 7 home made and 25 exquisite rum cocktails.

A calmly decorated shop house filled with raw wooden furnitures and images of palm trees made us imagine we were parked by the back alley along a sandy beach. Yes... the place was filling up with people in casual weekend maxi dresses and linen shirts men decked in straw hats. A latino DJ mix fuses the playful chit-chatting into relaxing noise that instantly neutralized my work stress.

I sat at this corner table on a classic Acapulco Chair, watching happy patrons walking by holding rum cocktails and some breaking into salsa dancing. I simply loved the atmosphere and the comfy interior decoration of the place that housed a DJ Corner a small bar, dining tables of a proper height for meals, a corridor for salsa dancing and little corner tables for those who love to laze around like me.

The menu was filled with choices of appetizers, mouth watering tapas and premium steak for mains. I was adamant about trying out the tapas because of its hard to pronounce names and so we tried out the tapas and of course rum cocktails.

Accras bacalao, a cod fish beignet - is one of my favourites as its easy to eat and I love the bits of herbs and spices within this deep fried ball of fish and pastry.

Prawn Ceviches - boasted succulent medium sized prawns that were juicy and refreshing.

Sea Bass Ceviche - a creamy spoon of fresh sweet fish in creamy savoury sauce.

Churros with smooth chocolate dip - is my forever lover... I simply loved this combination and the churros was light and crispy while the chocolate dip smooth and well balanced sweet and bitter...

I can't help but look through the list of promos available and well to highlight to all my friends, the Happy Hour is of a super good deal of $5 - $9 for various decadent alcoholic drinks and my favourite night would be wednesdays where Ladies gets a free flow of Mojito.

To my salsa loving friends, do pop by on thursdays for wine, dine and SALSA.... :) Thinking about these made me excited and i'm sure to pop by more often... LOVING the mood, atmosphere and of course the super friendly and attentive staffs....
