1.

Design Concept of Bobby’s @ Cuppage Terrace, Orchard
Banquette seating at Bobby's Cuppage Terrace | Day + Night The kitchen will serve a full menu all the way through till 2:am ! 2.1 Mr. Ed Poole | Poole Associates, The Interior Designer Fans of Bobby’s will see another branch opening in the newly revamped Cuppage Terrace at Orchard Road in Sept 2008. Designed by the well known design firm Poole Associates, the modern African-American style outlet is inspired by the bustle of a Harlem jazz club and showcases a wide alfresco area featuring a 13 meter long island bar with an innovative raised circular booth for a terrific view of the entire row of restaurants amongst its multiple dining arrangements. Located in one of the renowned shopping destinations in the world, Bobby’s al fresco bar is destined to be a favourite amongst the beau monde and a place to see and be seen. Bobby’s modern African-American concept features “trademarked” chevron stones, custom oryx-horn chandeliers, hand-chiselled mango log tables and banquettes seats with zebra striped upholstered backrests to bring the desired softness and enhance the acoustical properties of the dining room. The ceiling has been restored to an appropriate timber plank and beam system to harmonize with the colonial look and feel of the gazetted shop houses. The traditional rustic furnishing comprising warm teak tables and chairs all obtained from sustainably managed Indonesian forests are repeated in the Cuppage outlet and cleverly balances urban chic with the relaxed style which characterised Poole’s designs. Adding a touch of activity – a semi open concept was introduced for Bobby’s modern and efficient state-of-the art kitchen, professionally designed by Peter Knipp Holdings Pte Ltd. Patrons can glimpse at the handmade wall finishes featuring yellow crackle glaze tiles which wrap the theatre kitchen and their succulent ribs and steaks sizzling over a charcoal grill before being artistically presented on pristine white plates embossed with Bobby’s insignia. Lush tropical foliage, inviting plush sofas and comfortable armchairs greet weary shoppers and tourists seeking refuge from the hustle and bustle of Orchard Road while the exquisite colonial façade of Cuppage Terrace pampers patrons with a rich legacy inherited from Singapore’s colonial past. High roofing above the al fresco area shelters diners from the natural elements while allowing interested observers to appreciate the carefully preserved architectural details on the gazetted row of shop houses. 2.2 Mr. Lim Hwee Peng | Award Wining Wine Writer, Speaker, Marketer, Wine Consultant Bobby’s wine concept was introduced in 2006 to reinforce its position as a high end grill-restaurant and bar in Singapore.
