The Established Circle: 40+ Professional Singles

Hiding from the Valentine's Day noise?
Join a small, curated circle of 10 established professionals and entrepreneurs for a relaxed evening at American Taproom on Waterloo Street. Forget the overpriced "romantic" sets—we’re here for craft beer, comfort food, and real conversation with peers.
Who this is for:

• Established singles in their 40s and 50s.
• Long-term residents (PR/EP) and local professionals.
• People who appreciate an "East-meets-West" cultural perspective.

The Plan: We’ll meet at 7:00 PM for a casual dinner. American Taproom is known for its incredible craft beer selection and great food like wagyu burgers and pizzas—perfect for sharing.
Important Details:

• Max 10 Guests: I am keeping the table small to ensure we can all actually talk and get to know each other.
• Cost: Pay for what you order. No hidden event fees.
• RSVP: Please only say "Yes" if you are 100% committed so I can manage the table reservation.

Whether you are Chinese or non-Chinese, you know that Chinese New Year is a time for family and togetherness. But for many of us—entrepreneurs, busy professionals, or those living far from home—the "Reunion Eve" can sometimes be the quietest night of the year.
As a business owner established in Singapore, single and with no direct family here, I truly miss the warm, bustling atmosphere of a traditional reunion dinner. So, I decided to host one for us!
Let’s make this the first "Union Dinner" for The Established Circle 40+.
The Vibe: We are meeting at a local favorite—a traditional Singapore-style "Zi Char" (Hua La) spot right downstairs from me. It’s bright, clean, and loved by locals for its fresh, popular dishes. No fancy hotel dress codes or $ set menus for this special day—just good food at a budget and honest companionship.
The Plan:

• Dinner: We will order a variety of traditional dishes to share. There is no event fee; we will simply split the cost of the food and drinks equally.(20-50)depend on what we order,
• After-Dinner: For those who want to keep the conversation going, CHIJMES is just a 5-minute walk away. We can head there for a drink and soak in the festive lights.

要一起吃年夜饭吗？
虽然没有家人在身边陪伴，但我们一样可以开开心心地过年。作为一个在新加坡打拼多年的创业者，我非常怀念那种聚在一起、热热闹闹吃团圆饭的氛围。
无论你是华人还是非华人，只要你现在是一个人，或者想找一些志同道合的朋友聊聊天，都欢迎加入我们。让我们在 Waterloo 一起吃顿好的，感受这份久违的烟火气和温暖。
晚饭后，如果大家还有兴致，我们可以一起步行5分钟去 CHIJMES 喝杯东西，感受一下节日的灯光和气氛。
