SINGAPORE – On a balmy Wednesday afternoon in December, a group of people sit around in Eu Yan Sang’s shiny new boutique at Ngee Ann City. They nibble on scones and sandwiches, and sip from small jars containing golden filaments floating in clear liquid.
The beverage served is bird’s nest, an age-old beauty tonic also known as the “caviar of the East”.
