Hi,
With regards to this line in the article “A receipe written on a bar-chit in creator Ngiam’s own handwriting, dated 1936, can still be found in the Raffles Hotel Museum along with Ngiam’s receipe book.”
According the the Raffles Hotel’s media release – see http://www.raffles.com/EN_RA/Property/RHS/LeftFooterNavigation/Media_Room/Press_Release/01062007.htm, the recipe was written on a bar-chit by a hotel visitor in 1936, not by Ngiam. Quote from the media release: “These two artefacts will be displayed in the hotel’s museum, where visitors may also view the safe in which Mr Ngiam locked away his precious recipe books, as well as the Sling recipe hurriedly jotted down on a bar-chit in 1936 by a visitor to the hotel who asked the waiter for it.”
