THE NEW TRADEWINDS IS ALMOST HERE!

"Tradewinds" is the new all day dining restaurant that will replace Eagle's Nest. We're looking forward to opening after the New Year, and we'd like to give you an overview of what to expect.

The Tradewinds design was created together with the input of our Social and Dining Committee, staff, management, Member volunteers, EDG (our restaurant design consultants) the architects, and the interior design team. Based on the feedback received over many months, the following priorities: Family Friendly, Casual Dining, More Staffing Efficiency, Variety of Cuisines were formed and set as the basis for Tradewinds' design. The new restaurant is almost the same size as the Eagle's Nest, at approximately 10 meter sq. smaller than the old space. The above rendering of Tradewinds gives the general look and feel of the outlet, however, furniture placement and specific details like finishes, decor items, etc. may change in the final layout. QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT TRADEWINDS

Where will Tradewinds be located? Tradewinds will be located in the same area as the Eagle's Nest--on the left side of the lobby, near the main entrance. Will the menu still be the same? The new Tradewinds menu has been developed by our F&B team in partnership with the Social and Dining Committee. Tradewinds will offer buffet selections featuring Classic American and European favorites, as well as a melting pot of Singapore dishes. There will also be a la carte menu that will be revised every 4-6 months. The buffet selections will be prepared at live action cooking stations (salads, grill, saute, and dessert) in small batches. Tradewinds will also have specialty stations including Asian, Indian, Gourmet Pizza, and Specialty Desserts. There will be a salad bar option Monday-Thursday during lunchtime. When will Tradewinds open? Tradewinds is currently scheduled to receive its TOP and be handed over by the contractor in Q1 2019. After the Club receives the outlet, it will take several weeks to get it operationally ready. Once we have a clear opening date, we will communicate it to Members.

What is the design concept for Tradewinds? Members voted on the "American Summer" theme for Tradewinds, which was expressed as a beach house. The outlet uses light woods, seafoam green accents, and a rustic feel as design concepts. Below is the design concept that Members voted on.

Who is EDG? EDG are our restaurant design consultants. They have restaurant, hotel, & resort design experience. Some of the restaurants they've worked on in Singapore include Neon Pigeon, the Fairmont, and Club Street Social. They came up with the design concepts for all our F&B outlets (including the UB, which is receiving rave reviews) and the centralized kitchen concept that will help us streamline our service and increase efficiencies back of house.

THANK YOU TO THE MANY MEMBERS WHO HELPED IN THE DESIGN!

The Tradewinds floor plan, furniture, and designs received input from many volunteer Members. We thank those who gave countless hours of contribution who made this outcome a community project. After initial drafts were

completed, the designs were reviewed and approved by the Social and Dining Committee. It was further approved by the Design Review Committee and then further commented on and endorsed by the General Committee.
