To call this a "pool hall" is probably on par with describing a Lamborghini as "a car". There is, of course, a technical level of truth, but it's really not doing either side of the equation justice. Tigress is probably best described as it describes itself, a billiard club, but without the membership stipulation. In other words, this is a class act pool hall when you want to spend a little more for a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Cash & credit cards accepted.
It's been years since I've had the pleasure of playing on a 9' Rasson table, and therefore just as long since I've had the pleasure of a table run on a 9' Rasson. But I enjoyed both here at Tigress. Located on the third floor of Orchard Central Mall, this is a place to enjoy a refined experience. Tables are top quality, the felt is immaculate and the rails are as sharp and responsive as you'd expect from a Rasson. Add to that a full bar, a list of classic cocktails and a bartender who has some experience making them. Then add food into the equation, something I didn't personally sample on my visit but will next time. All in an airy and light, nearly ethereal atmosphere.
Further adding to the mystique, there's actually an APA league here (American Pool Association). *That's* something you don't find everyday in Asia! There's plenty of information available on display if you've got a hankering to test your skills in a more structured, competitive environment.
The Manhattan cocktail I ordered was on point and only missing a candied cherry garnish. And the cues are decided Asian, with a more radical tapering to the tip than I prefer in addition to being lighter than what I prefer shooting with. But the tips are fine and there's good chalk. There is also a liberal display of rules & regulations if you want to shoot here. Behave yourself. Otherwise you can't have nice things, right?
The coup de grace is they sell t-shirts, and I immediately added one of their staff shirts to my collection and will browse their incoming inventory of customer shirts in the next few weeks.
Yes, this is a pricier place to play. But it *is* Singapore so should that *really* be a surprise? There ought to be at least one upscale place to shoot pool in this town, and so far in my explorations, this is the top contender for that title - and second place is a *long* way off.
Come here and share some love with Dmitry and the crew here. They deserve it, and you're going to enjoy it.
For the Executive Set Lunch, we ordered:
•
- Bulgogi Beef with Kimchi Stew 💯
- Classic Cheeseburger 👍🏼
- Scallop Spaghetti
- Sausage Tomato Spaghetti
•
The Bulgogi Beef slices were a highlight, validated by all of us who tried it. Personally I find them abit sweet, but maybe it’s Korean style.
•
The Cheeseburger was well-crafted with a generous portion, and their French Fries were exceptionally crispy, disappearing before the burger was finished. 😅
•
The Spicy Scallop Spaghetti was appetizing! 🤤 The Sausage Tomato, a Korean fusion, featured a unique herb flavor that intrigued our taste buds. 😅
•
Their set lunch, priced at less than $20, included drinks.
hidden gem in hearts of orchard gateway indeed. Where do you get a place to eat, drink and play pool at same time. Beautifully decorated interiors, with modern Korean fusion food. I do recommend to try their Korean chicken burger - really huge crispy fried chicken cutlet served with fries & salad on side. Their cocktails are pretty interesting, Korea places of interest inspired too.
Had a networking luncheon here and first impression is how airy and spacious the restaurant is. Lots of natural lighting too. The food is very generous in quantity and beautifully plated. My main was Bulgogi Ribeye Rice Set and I enjoyed it, esp the Kimchi Soup, which wasn’t too spicy. (The beef was lovely too although it might be a bit too sweet for some). Tigress also uses a pretty nifty cashless payment system, Qashier, which generates QR codes; you just scan and pay. All in all, a great dining experience here.
Love the ambience here. The foods is awesome with a twist of Korean dish with a touch of western foods such as pizza & burgers. Must try their signature cocktail. There is billiards too for a fun game with family & friends. Will definitely come back again for gatherings
Truth be told I think Tigress is missing out by not introducing a boozy brunch billiards package on weekends. It would certainly be quite a unique attraction that makes the most use out of Tigress’ well decorated, light filled space.
The Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon was decent, but needed just an extra element to make it memorable, and the same goes for the squid rings. The drinks, both alcoholic & non alcoholic, are plenty strong.
Went for lunch so was on their Korean/western fusion brunch menu. Food are not bad, feel that their sauces stood out. Favorite dish I ordered was Ginmari which is kind of like japchae disguised as seaweed chicken! Lattes are good as well. Love the ambience of the place! Looks like there is karaoke/pool/games available as well but didn’t try it out this time! Will return next!
First time visit for dinner with my family. A very nice place for eatery or even chilling out. The foods are really very nice in Korean western foodies style. The taste of the foods are really savoury good!We had ordered a few dishes like, Honey Soy Wings, Hawaiian Pizza, etc.
My kids love the foods too. Even if you are not going for dinner and to chill with friends only. They have quite a number of selected drinks and bites to eat together. And can also go there to booked to play some pool game too.
And the service is on point! Kids friendly too!
Repeat customer here due to multiple accidents by my little girl on the stroller and car seat. Have always visited the Harbourfront Centre outlet but thought I would try out the new store at Paragon. As expected, my experience was very positive and the process was fast and seamless. Lloyd was extremely helpful and patiently explained what was done. My soiled stroller came back looking brand new and smelling so fresh! Highly recommend Sparkle Clean for your baby gear cleaning needs 👍
Excellent customer service, communication, and service delivery! They cleaned 3 baby items for me including a stroller, carrier and car seat. Wilson was very helpful in explaining the services offered and making recommendations based on the individual conditions of my items. Items now look like new and returned in a timely manner! I would definitely recommend this service and use it again! Cleaned even hard to reach areas. Thank you!
