Drinks at The Tanglin Club, from Prosecco to Tiger beer

  

Angela, selfie with a glass of Prosecco.

Before leaving home, I had a shower and washed my hair. I used conditioner to make my hair a bit less fly away.

The selfie came out slightly blurred.. However, my Samsung mobile phone, in editing, offered the option 'enhance'. I had seen this option previously. Then it disappeared. I now suspect that when its program detects a slightly blurred picture it offers enhance. The result is still slightly blurred, but it does me a favour. I look less baggy eyed and wrinkly. Much more flattering.

Prosecco Picture
The Prosecco does not have big visible bubbles like the more expensive Champagne. However, you can feel a slight tingling on your tongue. We were in the grand, large, formal, Churchill Room restaurant. My husband had been reading a book about Churchill, so, at last, being in the Churchill Room did not feel like an anachronism, but relevant.

The picture is reversed right to left. I just realised that when reading the Happy Birthday wording on the hat.

Wine Dinners
The club also has a series of wine dinners, one a month. visitors pay a little more than members. (Members are paying a monthly fee in addition to any meals they order, towards the upkeep of the club and staff. In lieu of gratuities, members are asked to pay a lump sum at Chinese New Year.)

BYO
We went to the Tanglin on a Monday because Monday lunch time they have BYO, bring your own (bottle of alcohol).  No corkage is charged.

Tiger Beer
Across the entrance hallway is the Tavern, a mock English pub, with a lower ceiling and beams, where the current offer (April 2022) is two glasses of Tiger beer for the price of one, we were told by one of the Tavern regulars.
