One can consider it a business and marketing book, the detail of how Hermes builds its business empire and brand around exclusivity is worthy of a case study in any business school. It is also a history and mini coffee table book combined. (The beautiful Audrey Hepburn, a client of Hermes) (Grace Kelly,Princess of Monaco which gave rise to the Kelly bag of desire) (The most expensive Birkin sold for £208,175 in a 2017 Christie Auction in HK) In its founding years, Hermes wasn’t always known for its Kelly and Birkin bags, the epitome of luxury bags.

My very first experience of doing a buffet was in Marina South many years ago, it was part of the thing I do on route to the well established nightspots located along Marina South. It is also what a secondary kid could afford. One could pigged out with a ridiculous amount of food for a Tenner. NS weekend book out day was another occasion for a nice buffet meal. I had substantially dial down my intake over the years. Age had definitely caught up. Today recommendation felt a sense of liberty. For more than 3 years of covid lockdown, my wife and I finally had a chance to do a proper DIY buffet session. I like the liberty of taking what I want. I like buffet not for the quantity of food it offers, I love it due to the variety of choices that come with a good buffet spread.  We are at City Hall, Cafe Mosaic, Carlton Hotel. They are currently offering lunch buffet special at only $38++ per person. It is difficult to find a buffet that is below $40 now due to food inflation  The choices of fo
