Welcome to International Wine and Food Society of Singapore

Dear Members

Thank you once again for your overwhelming support. Before the day is through yesterday, we already hit our proposed maximum of 24 pax. In view of the overwhelming support, I have contacted the restaurant that they have kindly agreed to expand the event to 40 pax. This is the maximum that the restaurant can seat and they cannot expand this further.

As such, I have now expanded this event to 40 pax and as of now, we only have 8 seats left. If you are still thinking if you would like to join us for this event, be quick and reserve your seats before everything is sold out.

Our Society is trying something different. Our members are very familiar with dinners being paired with wines all along. However, the influence of Japanese Cuisine has gained popularity here and I believe many of our members have enjoyed their Japanese fare alongside with sake and beer. Therefore, for the very first time, our Society is going to have our own Japanese fare and with the help of some friends who are major importers of Japanese Sake in Singapore, they are going to attempt a pairing of the Japanese Cuisine with different sake for our enjoyment. And in keeping with the good ol' Japanese tradition of such dinners, the event will kick off with the provision of Japanese Beer as an aperitif, followed by a sumptuous Japanese dinner specially prepared by our Executive Chef Ian Ong from the Matsugawa, Pines Club, with different sake being paired with each and every course.

This event is extremely good value, so don't even ponder or think about it … just reply immediately to reserve your seats, if sake and Japanese food is to your liking or is something that you would love to experience.

The Society …
