Score context
At Bangunan Ming Annexe on Jalan Ampang, Mikael J (September 2025) praises cocktails and bartender conversation; Jen W (October) names three drinks; Guanny G (November) likes drinks and service; Benjamin T (December) describes an Emberheart and custom umeshiso Negroni. Wanderlog exposes their dated Google text. Guanny’s snack-menu gripe is food-only. The current drink sample is favorable and one-sided on a single mirror, so confidence is low.
