FUSION OR CONFUSION?

This establishment is at the Raffles City complex facing the Raffles Hotel. The name is a piece of art, one for the book of records. It says in block capital ... O'Gambinos, Irish Italian Bistro Bar. What a mouthful! Anyone with a brain, eyes and a mouth would ask : so is it Irish or is it Italian, and, is it a bistro or a bar? The likely answer is 'we are all of the above' and the next question will then be, so what do you serve? I have never been comfortable with the concept of fusion cooking and there is a thin line over which one gets confusion, as in the naming of this venue. I made a mental note to try it next time. Ah So Des Ga .... perhaps this is a marketing ploy to get people in?
