EPICURE’S CHOICE

The things we crave this month

The health conscious but sweet-toothed can finally have their cake and eat it too. Known for her diabetic-friendly vegan cakes, chef Delcie Lam of Delcie’s Desserts has launched a new menu of vegan treats targeted at those on a Keto or Paleo diet. Low in pesky carbohydrates and using only plant-based proteins, natural sweeteners and extra virgin coconut oil, the guilt-free desserts include the “classic” Opera cake (from $95), Mixed Berry Nutty Ice Cream Cake (from $70) and even a nut-free Blueberry Cheesecake (from $78). Or jazz up your afternoon tea with the Low Carb Dark Chocolate Almond Bars ($20/box) and Coconut Almond Cookies ($32.80/tub). #01-83, Block 34 Whampoa West. Tel: 6282 2951

Arcadia Yachts, known for its eco-friendly designs, has launched the Arcadia 105 to much fanfare. Its signature low-consumption sailing, 400 sq ft network of solar panels and thermal insulating glass have won the vessel the Most Innovative Yacht award from the World Yacht Trophies right after its debut. The smart layout continues in its interiors. Floor-to-ceiling windows are available throughout, with electric side windows that roll down automatically to allow ocean air in. In particular, there’re fold-out balconies for an impromptu al fresco dining experience. Owners can also customise their boats (more than 50 design combinations are available). Price upon request. arcadiayachts.it/en

Feel and look like a queen with Duvelleroy’s latest couture hand fans. The Parisian house, which has been supplying the likes of Queen Victoria and Eugénie de Montijo with the elegant accessory since its founding in 1827, continues to excite with their latest; the Feather Balloon Bronze Hand-fan (€2,300/S$3,588) and Triple Peacock Hand-fan (€3,800). The latter is the epitome of savoir-fare with its combination of French molt peacock feathers upon iridescent mother-of-pearl, sourced from the Philippines. eventail-duvelleroy.fr/en/store
