Treats at Tower Club
July 20, 2002 | 12:00am
Tourism Secretary Dick Gordon loves to say just one word in his promotion of the Philippines: Wow! That same word came to me when I recently visited the Tower Club, the countrys premier, by-invitation-only business and social club.
You see, things are simply hopping and popping at the Tower Club. The clubs big-hearted general manager, Rupert Haarhoff, and membership director Cyndy Tan-Jarabata welcome and take excellent care of old and new members, while cooking up new activities to keep everybody happy.
First among Ruperts fine ideas is a monthly wine tasting at the Barons Bar. Bets World Beverage Brands Inc. sponsored the first wine tasting, featuring Jacobs Creek, Australias most successful wine brand, and Wyndham Estate. Premium cheeses complemented the wines.
Every night, a pianist at the bar soothes away members worries with light, classical music. The Tower Club also has ongoing sessions to revive ones spirit and improve the bodys tone and flexibility. Take your pick from yoga or Pilates.
Best of all, the Tower Clubs Continental restaurant has come up with a deal that no other first-class food establishment in the metropolis can equal. Every Saturday night, a member who hosts a dinner group of at least four persons will get his own dinner for free. Come with a group and get two meals on the house, with a group of 12, you get three for free, and so on. Tonight, the Saturday Night Only Dinner Special, P795 per person, is available for any a la carte menu selection or for a set menu.
With happy hour at the Barons Bar from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturdays, the club can easily be ones venue for weekend unwinding. That deserves an even bigger wow!
Sylvia Tay Van Remoortele, the charming Singapore-born wife of Belgian Ambassador Ronald Van Remoortele, recently held her second exhibit in the Philippines at the Oakwood Premier in Makati. Gracing the affair were luminaries such as Ambassador designate to the United Nations in Geneva Josie Lichauco, Justice and Mrs. Quentin Doromal.
Sylvia studied traditional and modern Chinese brush painting in Beijing under a master artist. Her paintings depict simple but rich colorful images of nature.
