WHAT’S NEW
Singapore is hosting its first
Sustainable Seafood Festival
from 8 to 15 June. WWF-Singapore and Marine Steward Council
are teaming up to educate consumers about the ecological
impact of their seafood choices. Watch out for special promos
at some of our best restaurants, such as salmon tartar served
with watermelon and raspberry vinaigrette at Il Cielo (shown
here). Hilton Singapore and Conrad Centennial Singapore are
participating on the heels of their parent company, Hilton
Worldwide, recently banning shark-fin soup from all of its Asia
Pacific properties, and Cold Storage is offering promos during
the festival. Watch out for educational road shows popping up
across the island, too.
For a list of participants and for more

SUGAR,
SUGAR
If you’ve ever handed
the kiddos ten bucks
and sent them on
their merry way
into
Candylicious
to avoid yourself
being tempted by
the rows of sweets
inside, this morsel is for you. The
store is now stocking Hershey’s
sugar-free chocolate, sugar-free
Jelly Bellys and Aussie-brand
Sugarless hard candies. Keep
your eye out for organic, GMO-

CHOC
SHOT
There are but four ingredients in
CaféDirect’s São Tomé 3-in-1 Luxury
Hot Chocolate
– cocoa, pure cane
sugar, skim milk and whey protein.
And, the cocoa, from São Tomé – aka
Chocolate Island – is packed with
flavonoids and other anti-oxidants. But
the sugar, we hear you say? It’s still hot
chocolate after all, so don’t go replacing
your morning protein shake just yet.
But at 62 calories a cup, this isn’t bad
for an occasional shot of choc. $8.85.
Available at Cold Storage, FairPrice
Finest, Giant Hyper and Jasons
Market Place.
