Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian restaurant, SUSHISAMBA, opens SAMBAROOM that is the hotbed for drinks, conviviality and dance

The interior of the SAMBAROOM.

You might not know from the landscape plaza and the presence of ByteDance employees that in Capital Tower, perched on the 52nd floor is SUSHISAMBA. And within that expansive restaurant’s mezzanine is the hottest room on this side of Cecil Street—SAMBAROOM.

It’s set to be the latest go-to spot for that evening wind down. Where patrons can just lounge on the plush seats and drink in the panoramic views and cocktails. Like its namesake, is there samba? You bet. Or, at the very least, the pulsating seductive Afro-Brazillian beats from a resident DJ, along with live music from percussionists and a horn section. The interior continues its vaulted 3D-printed bamboo ceiling, lush green wall, bold red accents and punctuated with a gilded bar.

Unlike the rest of SUSHISAMBA, the SAMBAROOM is only open from Thursday to Saturday evenings. This Saturday, the SAMBAROOM will launch its inaugural Casa de SAMBA party, where the room turns into a dance hall.

The Origata

But, if you’re like me, you need a little liquid courage to dance. Sample the bevy of cocktails created by Italian beverage consultant Giancarlo Mancino. Like its food menu of SUSHISAMBA—a blend of Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian influences—the cocktail menu draws from premium spirits that hail from Japan and South America. You have drinks with flavours that reflect the energy and artistry of Brazil, Peru and Japan.

Try the Origata, which is a Rinomato Aperitivo Deciso mixed with an umeshu reduction, melon and sparkling sake or the Bahia Colada—this is an interpretation of the classic colada and uses Roku Gin, matcha, Fernet Hunter Cacao and coconut.

If even the cocktails cannot tempt you into tearing up the rug, you can opt for hosting an intimate dinner or a private event. The SAMBAROOM can seat 45 guests or up to 100 standing bodies… which the latter offers a number that’s just right to dancing with abandon.
