He shares inspirational anecdotes about his steady pursuit to chase innovation as his F&B empire expands. We also speak with Nickson and Anson Au Yong, brothers in business who oversee Tiong Tat Printing Industry, sharing what motivates their success. On the luxury front, the spotlight falls on LVMH Watch Week and glittering jewels that echo the elements - fit to welcome a joyful Lunar New Year in style.
