The Italian restaurant that made giant pastries is back with XL cookies

Time Out22-07-2025
Over Valentine's Day this year, Italian restaurant Pane e Latte went viral for selling the largest commercially available pastries in Hong Kong, and now they're back again with huge cookies, available in monthly flavours. Blending the eatery's Italian roots with artisanal baked goods, their new XL Cookie collection is the perfect treat to munch on while enjoying the seaview.
Starting off nutty, July sees the launch of the hazelnut and pistachio flavours. Their hazelnut cookie features a classic cookie dough filled with gianduja chocolate and hazelnut ganache – we don't know about you, but Ferrero Rocher in cookie form sounds amazing. The pistachio version is filled with chocolate ganache and crushed pistachios instead, feeding into the recent pistachio craze. Each giant cookie is available at $68, and for an extra $28 you can add additional toppings such as chocolate hazelnut paste and crushed nuts, because why not?
For even more indulgence, order Pane e Latte's strawberry milkshake, a summery blend of vanilla gelato, milk, strawberry syrup, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream. The milkshake itself costs $68, but a giant cookie and a milkshake sells for a bundle price of $128.
Looking into August, Pane e Latte will be bringing out a raspberry cookie, featuring raspberry cookie dough with a luscious raspberry ganache filling, as well as their classic cookie, which features the quintessential chocolate chip dough filled with rich chocolate ganache. These two flavours will be paired with a tropical shake, which blends pineapple juice, coconut milk, vanilla gelato, and whipped cream, topped with dried mango for a beachy island vibe.
Head into Stanley on a nice weekend to enjoy these oversized treats while strolling through the seaside town, and if you find you've polished everything off too fast, just remember Cookie Monster once said, 'No cry because cookie is finished. Smile because cookie happened.'

Pucci's vibrant swirly prints enjoy another fashion moment

When it comes to glamorous fans, Emilio Pucci was the envy of other fashion designers. During the 1950s and 60s, the 'prince of prints' – as the designer became known – dressed Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy and Sophia Loren. Marilyn Monroe was even buried in the brand. And now, more than 30 years after his death, Pucci's trademark vibrant swirly prints are enjoying another fashion moment. The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. The return of Pucci has been bubbling up through content creators on TikTok, and the brand has the endorsement of Gen Z favourite Hailey Bieber. But it was confirmed this week when Lyst, the fashion data experts, revealed that searches for the brand had increased 96% in the second quarter of the year. Two of the classic prints – the pink Marmo from 1968 and the Orchidee from 1966 – were particularly popular, on minidresses and handkerchief tops. While not everyone can afford the prices of new Pucci – a Orchidee minidress is £645 – Depop also report a rise in secondhand: searches are up 381% since January on the resale app. And there are Pucci-like prints on fast fashion sites such as Shein and Asos for as little as £14.51. Pucci's popularity is about more than irresistible bright prints. It signposts a change in mood. Katy Lubin, the vice-president of brand and communications at Lyst, says: 'It's been years of this quite serious, quite luxury, minimal, intellectual fashion, or just quite plain and neutral-y fashion. It's exciting to see something that feels colourful and fun and fresh – especially during summertime.' The season is another factor. On social media, videos showing Pucci often feature the hashtag #puccigirl or #puccisummer – one Vogue writer reported in April: 'The Pucci woman is taking over my summer moodboard'. The trend is an offshoot of a wider aesthetic called 'Euro summer', which highlights the props that represent a starter pack of summer on the continent – from tomatoes and pasta, to white walls and blue sea. It seems Italian brands with print and colour are part of this, too. Lubin says there is also renewed interest in Missoni, Versace and Roberto Cavalli, but describes Pucci as 'the hero brand'. This status is down to Pucci's history – and its association with jet-set holidays. The label was founded by Pucci, a marchese who grew up in a palace in Florence. He launched his brand in the 1940s and opened a boutique in Capri in 1950. In the 50s and 60s, Taylor and others began wearing the designs on holiday. Now, says a Depop spokesperson, 'the brand's psychedelic prints [are] synonymous with Italian glamour and vintage style'. Camille Miceli has been the creative director of Pucci since 2021, and she has doubled down on this heritage. Speaking not long after her appointment, she said: 'Pucci isn't a conceptual brand, it's a lifestyle brand, so its message has to be direct.' This message has been clearly signposted by the staging of the brand's shows – the most recent took place in Portofino, another upscale Italian holiday destination. It's a move that helps the brand appeal both to the wealthy women that go to such locations, and those who aspire to do so.

Depop's spokesperson argues this points to the return of 'a more maximalist style of dressing – [it's] less brash than the logomania of the 2010s but still gives instant 'if you know, you know' cues to other fashion insiders'. Lubin, meanwhile, describes the prints as 'the equivalent to the logo to be seen in this summer'. As a brand so associated with the summer season, what are the chances that these prints will still be seen as autumn arrives? If minidresses and handkerchief tops might make an exit, Lubin says silk scarves will remain: 'That could be one way we will see Pucci beyond the beach.'

Fans were quick to comment on Kelly's upload, with one writing: 'You look amazing!' And another said: 'Jeremy is a lucky guy.' Kelly previously opened up about how she lost two stone with the help of SlimFast after being unveiled as its brand ambassador in 2019. She told the Daily Star: 'I've dropped two dress sizes, thanks to SlimFast. "It's a simple and effective plan, which is perfect for anyone like me who is always on the go! "I also love that you can eat up to six times a day.' Former glamour model Kelly built a career off the back of her enviable curves in the early noughties, being named FHM's Sexiest Woman in the World in 2015. But she's been open about embracing her changing body as she gets older - insisting she's not trying to hold onto the past. Speaking to OK! Magazine, Kelly said: 'I'm just trying to embrace the changes as I get older. I'm not trying to hold on to the body of my 21-year-old self, I've got to embrace that it's different. Kelly Brook looks stunning as she strips off to green swimsuit on luxury holiday with overwater villa, heart-shaped pool and private butler 'It's tricky though, I was trying a dress on in a shop the other day and, you know, 20 years ago I'd be able to put anything on and feel fabulous. 'But now my boobs aren't as high as they once were, I've got fat rolls on my back, and this and that - but I just embrace it.'
