I got that thing w/ candles and all candle lovers will tell you: diptyque is the best. Their brand new limited edition Hong Kong candle is a beautiful tribute to the city. The smell is divine and very unique using the floral accord of Hong Kong iconic Bauhinia orchid wrapped in rice steam. This candle has been burning in my living room since last Wednesday and I'm already thinking on buying a new one before the entire stock is gone. 

HKD 650 (190 g)

La Maison du Chocolat 's "Bien-être" collection

A super yummy collection aiming at liberating chocolate from animal fats and proteins. Always a big fan of Nicolas Cloiseau's yummy creations and loving his idea of taking a qualitative nutritional approach and using fruit juices, purées and nectars to create silky chocolates. Wellness doesn't have to be boring and can actually be super yummy. Now that's the kind of wellness I'm looking for! 

My fav ganache of this collection? Mango Turmeric in a dark ganache, sweet and slightly acidulous with just a hint of spice plus loaded in vitamins and antioxidants. 

HKD 390 for the Wellness Collection gift box
HKD 70 for two Bouchée Bars (only available in Green Apple Aloe Vera or Squash Squeed Praliné)

Sanpellegrino new sparkling fruit beverages flavours

The heat is back in Hong Kong and I like a fresh sip of Sanpellegrino Sparkling Fruit Beverages to cool things down on summer days. This summer, two new flavours: 

-   Melograno e Arancia: a zest of orange blended with pomegranate's ruby-hued juice 

-   Clementina: sweet clementines blended with oranges and mandarins 

Pssst: they also make perfect cocktails and mocktails material!

Oatly 's Cold Brew Latte

I discovered Oatly a few weeks ago and love absolutely everything about this brand from their uber cool packagings to their sustainable philosophy and their super yummy products. Not that I am intolerant to cow's milk or don't like it (actually love milk) but always love exploring different things and Oatly is the brand that has me thinking "ok, I don't mind swapping my usual milk for this one, actually happy to do because this oat milk is just super yummy". 

My fav Oatly's product? The Cold Brew Latte ... this little can is just so good when served perfectly chilled! 

Oatly's oat milk is available as an option in more and more coffee shops around town (including Pacific Coffee) 
Products available at JustGreen, ParknShop, Honestbee and more ...
