Dear
friends,
If you take a stroll along the Singapore River
facing the Fullerton Hotel, you will see an alfresco restaurant
stretched just around the corner of the Asian Civilisations Museum.
Spacious and welcoming, IndoChine Waterfront has offered respite to the
weary after a long’s day of work. The space has been the place for
families and friends to bond over good food and drink, a place for a
great party and gathering for the past 13 years.
Unfortunately, due to a pending repossession and revamp of the site
(the place will be reconstructed, possibly, into a museum entrance),
this beautiful site occupied by IndoChine will be closed for good in 3
weeks, on Monday, 30th of June 2014.

WHY KEEP
INDOCHINE WATERFRONT?
It made a difference
On top of its relaxing ambience and
beautiful location, IndoChine Waterfront (operated by well-known
restaurant, bar, club and resort chain IndoChine Group) has hosted many
world class events and parties such as the bidding of the Summer
Olympics 2012. The space has also welcomed global leaders like Michael
Bloomburg, Henry Kissinger, Lord Subastian Coe, Princess Anne, Prince
Albert of Monaco, Sir Richard Branson, celebrities David and Victoria
Beckman, politicians, and businessmen from all over the world.

IndoChine Waterfront (as well as other
IndoChine outlets) has also been actively involved in numerous
corporate social responsibility projects. Through its events and
fund-raising activities at the outlet, the Group has contributed
towards tsunami relief, provided help to organisations such as
Singapore Red Cross, Asian Children's Medical Fund and humanitarian
groups such as Shark Savers. In its most recent annual Green Festival
event at the ACM premises, IndoChine promoted awareness to raise funds
for survivors of the Typhoon Haiyan in Philippines.
Forbes International has also listed IndoChine as one of the top
philanthropy companies in Asia and I have been awarded various Green
and Social responsible Leadership awards from many organizations over
the years, such as the Asia Pacific leadership and Tatler’s Green
Leadership of the Year.
The place has also promoted tourism at the Asian Civilisations Museum
and the Asian culture that has blended in so well with the Museum's
identity.

Its given back
Protecting and sustaining the environment is also amongst IndoChine’s
priorities. IndoChine’s Waterfront outlet (and all of IndoChine’s other
outlets) has been fitted with recycled materials i.e. its flooring and
other fixtures. It also uses solar panels to generate power for the
outlet. Dishes of endangered animal types, such as shark fin soup and
caviar from the sturgeon fishes, are also strictly banned on menus.
IndoChine’s Waterfront outlet at ACM has indeed, served as a platform
for numerous meaningful programmes and activities which has benefitted
many organizations and causes since its establishment. A check has
indicated that IndoChine Waterfront has hosted an estimate of 10
million people in the last 11 years – this has also contributed a
significant number of patrons to the Asian Civilisations Museum.
