Birthday Celebration

Another membership gathering was held on 11 September 2007 at the Spice Island, Sutera Harbour Marina & Country Club, celebrating Rtr Dennis and PP Juliana's Birthday. Six 'potential members' joined us for the dinner... Special thanks to NGD Woo and Rtr Esther for the excellent dinner-fellowship arrangement.

Spice Island, one of the Resort’s signature restaurants, is host to a refreshingly unique menu of Malay-Indian fusion cuisine. Complemented by the ambiance created with the nostalgic decor of the restaurant and the period garb of the attentive service staff, it’s no wonder that Spice Island is the venue of choice of royalty and dignitaries.
