Words from the General Manager
The Chinese New Year is a highly anticipated annual event. The China Club is proud to present our CNY Set Menus that will immerse you, your loved ones and your guests in a memorable festive feast. Our range gives you a choice from the bountiful to the lavish – and every set menu has been crafted to remind us of the rich symbolisms in a Chinese meal. For example, fish or 鱼 (yú) is a must-have dish because of the saying, 年年有鱼 (nián nián you yú), meaning “yearly, we will have fish” – portraying the abundance of food for a family. This is also a homophone for 年年有 余 or “yearly, we will have money”, signifying a prosperous new year. 年糕 (nián gāo) is another important dish. The rice cakes symbolise 年 (nián), which means “year”, and 糕 (gāo), which sounds like “high” in Chinese. So the idea behind eating this dessert is to have a lucky year, where one can scale great heights.
Noodles represent longevity, which is why it remains a staple of Chinese New Year dinners. The longer the noodles, the better! Come to The China Club and enjoy these well-loved delicacies that our chef has put his own spin on. We warmly invite you to celebrate the Spring Festival in the skies with breathtaking views of the city, our impeccable service and a rich heritage of Chinese cuisine.

Our Place in the World We’re in an eventful era. In the U.S., the leadership change in the White House signals a new period in international trade. China’s Belt and Road Initiative is gathering momentums towards a new economic vision. Meanwhile, Singapore will chair the ASEAN Summit 2018, and aim to boost resilience and innovation among member countries. What is Singapore’s place in the world amid these constant changes?

For one, we have always worked hard to be a significant crossroads of connectivity, linking people here and beyond our shores with opportunities. From the 52nd level where The China Club is at, you can sense the numerous connections happening every day that bring our CBD – and thus, our city – to life.

CHINA CLUB QUARTERLY NEWS JAN - MAR 2018
A dynamic city never stops reinventing itself. Our much beloved port, whose landscape many of you are familiar with, will be shifting to Tuas over the next decade. What was once a hive of maritime activity that we have enjoyed witnessing from The China Club will become a vacant land ripe for imagination. A new waterfront development will take place, but the many possibilities within it will be up to Singaporeans. We invite you to come envision the future with us. The 360° bird’s-eye view from our club reveals an inspiring portrait of a city that just won’t give up, having often risen against the odds. More than anything else, Singapore’s place in the world will depend on its spirit – of starting again and again, relentlessly, with grit and integrity. As a new year begins, it is only fitting that we toast to fresh starts. Here’s to new and mighty beginnings!

The Art of Tea
Legend has it that Chinese Tea was discovered by the Chinese Emperor Shennong. A dried leaf fell into his drinking water, and when he drank it, he was so impressed by its refreshing taste that he named it “cha”. Besides being an age-old practice in Chinese culture, tea drinking is also popular due to its health benefits. A strengthened immune system, improved metabolism and lower cholesterol level count among the benefits. At the China Club, choose from our range of premium and handcrafted teas.

银针白毫 Silver Needle White Peony 每位 $8 per person
心心相印 Heart’s Desire 每位 $8 per person
The rarest and most spectacular of the Fujian white teas. Each bud is covered in a white down and is soft to the touch. The tea is a glittering pale gold, with the gentle smoothness of a ripe melon.
This amazing tea is meticulously and expertly hand-tied into a heart shape that unfurls to reveal the Lily, Globe Amaranth and a string of Jasmine flowers. An extraordinary tea with a complex and charming fragrance. Truly a tea connoisseur’s heart’s desire. It helps regulates breathing and an excellent agent for improving complexion with the gentle smoothness of a ripe melon.

Wines of the Quarter 新
Louis Roederer Brut Premier NV Region: Champagne, France Grape Varieties: 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Meunier
$128
坡 中
Aromas of citrus fruit (lemon) and fresh, zesty notes combined with soft tones of grilled hazelnuts and heady acacia flowers. After aeration, the wine develops hints of fresh wood, subtle spices (pepper, cardamom), cocoa beans, and honey nougat which add depth. The palate is simultaneously smooth, rounded and fresh. The attack is juicy, direct, concentrated and pure, yet exceptionally soft and gives way to a saline freshness endowing it with remarkable mineral precision and discreet elegance. Domaine Billaud-Simon Chablis 2015 Region: Burgundy, France Grape Varieties: Chardonnay
会
CHINA CLUB QUARTERLY NEWS JAN - MAR 2018
$78
The wine is 100% from Wilyabrup sub-region. The Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc are sourced solely from our home block on Caves Road. The wine has a beautiful combination of pear and passion fruit on the nose. The palate is clean and crisp with lime, citrus and melon. Complexity has been added from wild fermentation giving subtle flinty characters.
Moulin de Duhart 2014 Region: Bordeaux, France Grape Varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
国
$88
Beautiful white gold hue with delicate pale green glimmers. A seductive with classic Chablis nose offering vine peach, banana, citrus fruits and brioche. The palate is well balance, rich, fresh and elegant. The smooth, rich structure lingers on the end palate. Ripe fruits combine harmoniously with mineral notes to give a soft mouthfeel.
Amelia Park, Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2016 Region: Margaret River, Australia Grape Varieties: Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc
加
$108
The wine shows the beautiful dark red colour. The nose is reserved, but already has good depth and complexity. The wood is well integrated under the characteristic notes of fresh red fruit, dominated by blackcurrants. On the palate, the attack is robust and dense, with the wine developing lots of volume. The fruit maintains a good presence. The overall impression is already very well balanced. The wine confirms its elegant, fresh style. The tannins, although still young, are silky.
Amelia Park, Estate Shiraz 2016 Region: Frankland River, Australia Grape Varieties: Shiraz
$98
This wine is made with fruit from the Frankland River Region of Western Australia, which produces wine with great richness of flavour. A lovely perfumed bouquet of blackberry and spicy cherry. The palate is luscious with mulberry, plum and hints of black pepper, supported by soft subtle tannins. Aged in French oak for twelve months, this wine will benefit from cellaring.
