Ms Rachel Lee, who has been going to the Jiak Kim Street nightspot regularly for two years, says that compared to other big clubs, Zouk always has a good vibe.

Said the 28-year-old bank officer: 'Of course there are also practical things like the security, which always seems to keep a handle on things, and ample parking.'

Advertising executive Lawrence Lee has been going to Zouk four to five times a month for six years, and he's still hoping to be a member. Said Mr Lee, 24: 'Six years is a long time for me. I go to Zouk like any regular clubber and buy a fair amount of drinks.'
