The Team

Kingston Chin, Head Mixologist

Kingston is committed to building on the established reputation of the bar to make it one of the world’s best. Imaginative and adventurous, Kingston’s creativity is reflected in ANTI:DOTE’s 'Cure-all', a cocktail menu made up of three parts: 'Long Long Time Ago' is inspired by ancient remedies from around the world; 'Grandma Says' celebrates cures inherited through generations and 'Modern Times', shaped by the innovative mixtures of today.

At an early age, Malaysia-born Kingston knew he wanted to work in the food and beverage industry. Having been encouraged by his parents to always pursue his passion, he achieved a diploma in hospitality and tourism and joined Equinox, now known as SKAI, at Swissôtel The Stamford. He worked alongside a close-knitted team and honed his bartending skills under the tutelage of the head mixologist. Within two years, Kingston was promoted to senior team leader, before deciding to give his full focus to the field of cocktails.
