    THE ultra-high-net-worth Chinese are here – and they are willing to splurge. Signs of their conspicuous consumption are hard to miss; though like everyone else, they range from being very demanding customers to extremely nice and accommodating ones.

    And while everybody wants their business, what exactly do they like, how do they like to be treated and from where do they get their recommendations? In Friday’s (Jun 9) edition of BT Lifestyle, we speak to people who have dealings with these wealthy folks and those in their inner circle, to find out more.

    In Arts, we take a look at the last few shows of the Singapore International Festival of Arts as the performing arts scene’s mega event of the year draws to a close.

    In Dining, if you’re tired of shelling out upwards of S$500 for Japanese omakase, the unassuming eatery Yuta aims to show that you can still get a multi-course menu for as little as S$115. Find out if it’s really a bargain or are you just getting what you pay for. Read them all in this Friday’s issue of BT.
