Tatler Ball 2014: Pre-dinner cocktails

After walking the red carpet upon arriving at the much anticipated Tatler Ball 2014, guests were ushered into a resplendent cocktail area that dripped of sophistication with black drapes and tablecloths.

A glowing bar serving up refreshing Belvedere vodka cocktails and featuring a full wall of Hennessy X.O cognac stood as the main attraction. Guests had a choice of two refreshing variety of cocktails that sparked conversations and reignited camaraderie in no time.

Datuk Kelvin Tan, Yap Teak Sing and Dato' Yap Teiong Choon were seen having their photos taken alongside other social stalwarts the likes of Yohan Rajan, Dato' Simon Foong and Ruben Gnanalingam.

As glasses were knocked back and more guests slowly but surely filled up the cocktail area, the anticipation in the air grew noticeably stronger at what awaited during dinner.
