A year after the launch of the e-shop, the Sweet Fashion House’s boldly designed desserts are now also available in 3 different shops. 
 
We are loving the beautiful handcrafted creations and innovative flavors from French Master Patissier Gael Majchrzak. Each and every cake just look like a teeny tiny little precious thing. Love it! 
 
Hong Kong Madame’s fav: the Paris - Hong Kong (HKD 58) a nice take on the famous French pastry Paris – Brest and a yummy combination of choux pastry, macadamia praline, orange mango compote with a milk tea ganache local twist.

What’sIN delivers fresh and seasonal fruits boxes at your doorstep 

I love fruits and do need my daily dose of vitamins. But I’m definitely not a fan of the fruits you can find in Hong Kong and feel like they either come tasteless (I mean I would kill for tomatoes which actually smell and taste like tomatoes!  There nothing better than a simple tomato salad but no not in Hong Kong where tomatoes have no taste) or full of chemicals and over packaged. What’sIN fruits aren’t like that … 
 
For example, my first order with them included the tastiest Violette de Sollies Figs from France. God, I love fresh figs! 
 
Plus I love the concept of receiving a surprise box. It gives you an opportunity to try different things. And if you don’t know what you are going to get, one thing you know for sure is that they are seasonal fruits only, certified organic and resulting from sustainable agricultural practices. Tasty and safe … what else?
