Healthcare you don't mind paying for

The Clinic is a rather strange and morbid restaurant and club in Singapore with a hospital theme. Diners are seated in wheelchairs and dining off of stainless steel operating tables (extra cutlery are stored in surgical drawers). The chefs (dressed as surgeons) cook in an open kitchen designed as an operating room. Wine is stored behind a wall of stainless steel morgue drawers. Molecular gastronomy is on the menu while cocktails are served up in IV drips, spray or pill form. This rather kitchy concept was inspired by Damien Hirst's pharmacy series.

While this concept would normally shy away locals (due to Asian superstition and karma), it has been popular with the younger hip generation.
