Las Residence Hotel & Spa Saigon Saigon Bar (Ho Chi Minh City) Perched on top of Caravel Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City's District 1, the Historic Saigon Saigon Bar is named by The Guide as "Best Bar in Ho Chi Minh City". This famous roof top garden bar was the unofficial head- quarters for both correspondents and generals alike during the 1960s and early 70s. The original bar still Butter Factory stands, antique fans still whirl lan- guidly from the raked ceiling, cock- tails are still carefree on the garden terrace, dating back to 1956; and the verandah remains a "lookout tower" across Ho Chi Minh City, with its romantic purple glow at sunset. In the evening, the sensational "live" bands entertain with live music sing- ing all time favorites. The Butter Factory (Singapore) Ever since it opened its doors in 2006, The Butter Factory has fast become the place to be seen especially for Gen Y party-goers in Singapore. It is an imaginative, bold and ground-breaking party blend of hip hop, R&B, urban grooves, alter- native vibes and street art. Located at One Fullerton, The Butter Fac- tory offers popular and alternative culture, along with party music to boogie down to spread across two loud rooms. A trip to the club on Fridays or Saturdays especially will see long snaking queues till well past mid-night. Zouk (Kuala Lumpur) Located right in the heart of KL's Golden Triangle, Zouk Club KL's unique contemporary design and state-of-the-art technical equip- ment refl ects the attention to detail, sense of style and artistic touch that makes Zouk such a special experi- ence.

Into its 7th year, the Zouk Kuala Lumpur is the sister club of Asia's entertain- ment institution, Zouk Singapore, which was one of the pioneers to introduce house music into Singa- pore at a time when this concept of music was not well-entrenched in the Asian clubbing landscape.
