“Gordon and I sold our Pulau Club memberships because I realized I was only going there to eat their ice kacang,”‡ Michael overheard Mavis telling his mother-in-law.
The Pulau Club is my thinly disguised name for SICC, the Singapore Island Country Club, known simply as "Island Club" to its members. ("Pulau" is Malay for island.) And that quote is 100% authentic -- I overheard a family friend saying those exact words. What makes it funny to me is that there are so many people dying to jump through all the insane hoops and pay hundreds of thousands in membership fees to join this ultra exclusive club in order to enjoy the club's superb golf courses and other facilities, while these friends only ever went there to eat a simple shaved ice dessert that one could find practically everywhere.
