The IndoChine Group is a unique reflection of contemporary Asian lifestyle, synonymous with nutraceutical cuisine and award-winning designs. An active socially responsible organisation which prohibits the sale of near-extinct marine species foods (including sharks’ fin, blue-finned tuna and yellow-finned tuna), IndoChine has since grown into an international lifestyle brand boasting of fine-dining restaurants, clubs, bars and even a luxury villas and resort property. IndoChine now has venues strategically located in Singapore, in and around Asia and even Europe, including Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Jakarta, Indonesia; Phuket, Thailand; and Hamburg, Germany. IndoChine caters to an international jet-set clientele and takes pride in delivering to astute and affluent guests a memorable lifestyle experience not easily found elsewhere. IndoChine is not simply about food and drinks; it is also about music, fashion, sports, arts and culture, parties and even the environment.
Having received numerous awards and accolades internationally for its unique holistic lifestyle concepts, IndoChine has been the preferred venue for numerous glamorous and large-scale events of up to 2,000 people, including two MTV Asia post-award parties; a post-opening party for Cirque du Soleil’s Quidam; the International Indian Film Academy Awards party; the International Olympic Committee (IOC) 2012 bid party of London, New York, and Paris, which took place in 2005 across Singapore at two of IndoChine’s venues. IndoChine also had the pleasure of the company of dignitaries and celebrities such as Henry Kissinger, Michael Bloomberg, Mikhail Gorbachev, Tony Blair and his wife, Cherie Blair, the Prime Minister of Laos, His Royal Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco, Sting, Raoul Gonzales, INXS, Ian Thorpe, David and Victoria Beckham and even Mariah Carey.
