After dinner, the live band at the lodge came out and started rocking the crowd. There were 4-5 singers, some of them orphans under Uncle Chang's wing (part of profits go to orphanage), and the man himself (long hair, white t-shirt) too sang “we are the world”.

After a while, bottles of free rums were given to each table, and the dive masters started pouring cheap red wine to us too. That got the crowd really going, in no time we were dancing on the floor and singing together with the rockers. It was absolutely awesomesauce.

Lounge@Jen Singapore Ladies Night Review. We started off with a glass of the house wine – I had the red and my friend had the white.

I tried this once and thought that I must have got a dud bottle. As usual I gave it a second chance a few months later at a restaurant. As another reviewer said no varietal character at al.

It just tasted like a cheap red wine and a poor one at that. I was astounded that such a reliable producer would release something like this which would hurt the brand. Has made me wary of other wines in the range even though they have been recommended.
