INDRA KANTONO AND GAN GUOYI
The cocktail couple behind Jigger & Pony Group.
THE FIRST DATE: I took Guoyi to Aoki on our first date, thinking I would impress her. Turns out she does not enjoy sashimi and raw fish! We first met over beers and prawn-paste chicken wings at Ice-Cold Beer along Emerald Hill Road, so I should have known better.
MOST MEMORABLE MEAL TOGETHER: I proposed to Guoyi just before Christmas 2012 at Luke’s Oyster Bar & Chop House in Gemmill Lane. It was around the corner from Jigger & Pony so she did not suspect anything. Halfway through dinner, I pretended to take a phone call outside and Michael Tai (then Luke’s manager) had 96 roses sent to our table. I walked back in with the final dozen, got down on one knee and proposed. Symbolically, 108 roses stand for “Will you marry me?”
She said yes and we have been back to Luke’s for our anniversaries.
