We were privileged to attend the official opening of the "School of Paris between Montmartre and Monparnasse & the Current European Artists” art exhibition at @radissonbrunei. 20 precious artworks featuring stunning original pieces by the likes of Modigliani, Jeanne Hebuterne and Giorgio Morandi aim to paint Brunei as an art and culture destination. The first-of-its-kind exhibition is open to public from December 4-10, only at Radisson Brunei as part of the #BruneiDecemberFestival. Be sure to check it out!

We were so thrilled to finally get our hands on Brunei's first ever premium melons! 😍🍈 Some facts you should know about these artisanally-grown fruits:
.
✔️ Part of the "Japanese Arus" breed
✔️ Grown with a strict One Tree One Fruit policy to ensure consistent quality throughout
✔️ Farmed, harvested and packed in the heart of Brunei but proudly exported internationally

Melts can be found at all Supasave outlets throughout Brunei at $17.50 per kilo. We have to say it's well worth a melon bucks! 💚
