The Tanglin Club Members play the dice game of Balut either at the 'Wet Bar' or the Card Room, and many times as a convenient method of settling a round of drinks, perhaps.
The Club has a Balut Section, which tries to popularise the game as a social pastime through organised events with other Singapore or Sabah / Sarawak clubs enabling Members to freely inter-mingle over a few drinks, and for most also a little bit of mental therapy. Not forgetting meeting with Members of other clubs and the occasional trip to Borneo.
Genuine hand-made leather Balut Cups complete with dice, score sheets and ' How to play Balut' instructions are available for sale at the Reception at the main Clubhouse. Balut is a game where everybody can participate with a minimum of tuition and 'Beginners Normally Win' is an old Balut saying!
Balut sessions are held in the Wine Bar at 7 pm on the last Wednesday of every month.
Regular Activities
Monthly Balut
The Balut Section meets on the last Wednesday of the month at 7pm for a game of six rounds in the Wine Bar. We tend to gather at the Wet Bar at 6.30pm for a few drinks and to limber up for the start! No booking is required - just show up on the last Wednesday of the month. Free-of-charge for Balut Section Members.
