Agree, its not easy to meet random people here in sg, its even better in Tokyo. Btw, the bar in Tokyo is called Geronimos, my favorite place, fun as hell, everybody gets whatever you want... casual talks, random drink buddies, or maybe more... lol
Mogambos here is a bit disappointing, i think. But well... maybe New Asia bar at raffles city?
Good luck!
JK.
Personal opinion, New Asia Bar, just like all the other chick-magnet bars with the likes of Ku De Ta, Avalon, Attica (I could go on but oh well), is just as superficial.
Girls in groups there just want to have fun (or get hit on) and boys in groups there just want to have fun (or score girls from the first group), while the lone men/women there are either closet prostitutes or lone business travellers who probably discovered they are in the wrong place anyway.
You may have better luck striking conversations with random people in pubs, where people tend to relax and chatty (without blaring techno/dance music in the background). Irish pubs are good starters.
I personally have better luck chatting up random strangers in pubs over humble pints than in bars over expensive cocktails.
Hope you find this helpful. Singapore, just like other metropolitan city, is ruled by materialism so you gotta know where to find the right bunch. You don't want to go to places where girls wants your money (if you're a guy). And materialistic women do not go to pubs because there won't be loud music to hide the fact they can't hold decent conversations, and pubs aren't dark enough for these girls to hide that extra layer of make-up and, generally, hide pretty much anything under that layer.
