Healthy, organic food is no longer alien to Vietnamese consumers. Following the COVID pandemic, health issues were placed at the top of the priority list, making this market even more exciting. Rising incomes combined with young people consuming a variety of healthy foods is driving demand for green products. Eating organic or ‘clean’ is becoming a mainstream component of the green living lifestyle. Vegetarianism and consumption of plant-based foods have many health and the trend of choosing a vegetarian diet also helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and environmental pollution. At CFF Vietnam, they offer a variety of healthy and organic selections in their portfolio to positively influence diners’ decision-making. Source baophapluat.vn

Sands China Limited reopened The Londoner Macau, a rebranded integrated resort, with a grand celebration on 25th May. The celebration was attended by David Beckham, a Sands Resorts Macau global ambassador. The resort, which comprises five luxurious hotels with nearly 6,000 rooms in total, has been undergoing a spectacular rebranding process since 2021 and will exude a wow factor in a city already known for superlatives.
With travel restrictions lifted and the city returning to normality, the hospitality industry is picking up once again in Hong Kong with a new multi-experience establishment opening in Central’s iconic Landmark. Jointly created by Leading Nation (the group behind The Diplomat, Elephant Grounds, Margo and La Rambla) and Hongkong Land, forty-five is a unique hospitality space combining the best of culinary and creative arts, ushering in five different experiential concepts all under one roof. The dining side is spearheaded by esteemed French Chef Anne-Sophie Pic – who boasts an impressive 10 Michelin stars across her restaurants.
An emerging trend seen in London over the last 12 months is the rise of restaurants and hotels launching pastry shops. Starting with Cedric Grolet at the Berkeley, we now have Cakes & Flowers at the Dorchester, Artspace Café at Claridges as well as some very exciting new openings on the horizon. No longer reserved just for tasting menus and afternoon tea, these luxury hotels are offering incredible products made by some of the best pastry chefs in the country – all designed to enjoy as a takeaway treat or posh pit stop with a lovely cup of coffee. A favourite so far is the popcorn Paris Brest at Cakes & Flowers.
The Choux Box Patisserie was founded in 2020 by Pastry Chef Orlando Partner and has proved to be a huge success from what started off as a ‘simple’ lockdown project to help bring in some money. Orlando spent 10 years working as a Pastry Chef in Michelin starred kitchens across the country, but decided to utilise these skills in a business of his own with the aim of making high end patisserie both accessible and fun!
The concept was to take a classic French Choux bun and bring it into the 21st Century. Using old school technique, Orlando and his team now create exciting new weekly specials including favourites such as ‘The Sticky Toffee Pudding Choux’, ‘The Blueberry Crumble Choux’ and ‘The Fruit and Nut Chocolate Bar Choux’. Having originally kicked off with two trailers, one used as a kitchen and the other as somewhere to sell the tasty treats, The Choux Box Patisserie now has its own professional kitchen and sells at 3 locations across Bath and Bristol. The story continues as Orlando has just secured a new lease for a property which was originally a dream site he spotted while walking his dog. This proper lockdown success continues to grow and puts a massive smile on anyone who drops by!
