After Hong Kong and Beijing, David Tang wants to bring the joys of the China Club to Singapore.
The businessman and socialite says he has teamed up with CapitaLand, Southeast Asia's biggest property developer, to open one of his exclusive watering holes in the Lion City next year.
'What we want to create here is a bit of drama, a bit of interest, but not forgetting that we have a club to serve members and we only concentrate on doing two things - providing the best food and the best service,' Mr Tang told The Business Times in Singapore.
The 12,000 square foot Singapore venture - which Mr Tang will oversee as it is fitted out - will be very much in the mould of its Hong Kong predecessor.
The club will come with two dining rooms; a trademark Long March Bar, emblazoned with Mao memorabilia; private areas and a pavilion-style room decorated to resemble an old mainland opera house, the newspaper reported.
Those who wish to be seen there will be asked to part with a cool S$15,000 (about HK$66,795) a head for membership. Mr Tang is to launch a recruitment drive next week to pull in up to 800 of the city's great and good.
