Calling all KITKAT® fans – the KITKAT® Chocolatory® specialist store is bringing its premium Japanese collection to Hong Kong for the very first time.

The 14 KITKAT® bars encompass four series, each with their own distinctive features.

KITKAT® Chocolatory® Volcanic Series Vanuatu Chocolate – The Volcanic Series is made with cacao cultivated in the nutrient-rich soils of volcanic islands.

MML secret spice in Hong Kong!!!

Thanks to MML Secret Spice for sending some spices all the way over to Hongkers!
Before I got them, I watched MML Special Spice youtube to get some inspiration on how to use the spices which is simple and straightforward really just like other spices.
As soon as I received them, I put a dab in my mouth to see how it tasted because you really have to try condiments/sauces/spices before using them effectively.
What I mean by that is, you get a feel for the taste ie if it has salt, sugar, how spicy it is.
My first impression was that it was quite hot so a little goes a long way as it really depends on your tolerance to spices.
Without further ado, I spiced my fries with it inspired by McDonalds shake shake fries and McCains flavour maker.
I was really pleased with the result because it gave the fries some heat.
It is really good that the spices don't have salt as it only gives extra spice and aroma to the dishes as some items already have salt in them.








The next dish I tried was Shepherd's pie with a spicy kick inspired by Pie Republic's spiced Shimla pie and also Chinese takeaway style chilli beef by mixing the spices in the sauce.

Pickled eggs to the next level!!
These are pickled devilled eggs with paprika replaced with @mmlsecretspice
Note, there are no greens in devilled eggs but I put them there to make it look nice.
Natural purple colours from reusing vinegar that was used to pickle purple cabbage and red radish.

I love this secret spice because it's so versatile that it enhances anything.
This time used it on roast chicken and the celery in the spices are lovely and aromatic.


Rice rolls with a Korean twist;
Kimchi is so popular these days but I'm allergic to it.
Anyway, I made my own version of colourful kimchi with fragrant fresh celery, spring onions, carrots, chilli flakes, Chinese cabbage.
By spicing it with mml secret spice it looks and tastes just like kimchi.

Fairytale cookes at Royal Plaza Hotel

As well as healthy low sugar cakes, Royal Plaza are now doing handmade cookies with a fairytale twist called Storyland cookies.

Each box of cookies comes in a dreamy designed box which will set you back from HKD48-52 as different flavours are priced differently.


There are 10 flavours: Chocolate Chip Cookies, double Chocolate Chip Cookies, Vanilla & Macadamia Nut, Oatmeal, Apricot & Raisin, Peanut butter, X.O. Sauce & Sakura Ebi, almond and egg, sesame butter, almond butter and Royal Lion Coffee cookies.

When you buy three boxes, it comes in a gift box so as a savoury person I tried the XO sauce and ebi cookies, peanut butter and Royal Lion coffee cookies.


My favourite was definitely the XO because I love spicy savoury flavours, while peanut butter is the trend everywhere these days and the signature Royal Lion is a must with a cup tea or coffee.



Currently, you can get these online with a 10% discount using the code R0010 or there is a buy 10 boxes get one free offer at the hotel.
