A total of 32 types of wine are available by the glass, or even half-glass, thanks to the sleek and state-of-the-art wine dispensers. For cocktails, Ooh La La tastes as French as it sounds, with Champagne, Lillet Blanc and Dubonnet. The Ginger Mojito is perfect for the holiday season: a spicy surprise gift for the palate after a year of hard work.

The Pick'n'Mix Fancy Pantsy Gin and Tonic represents a candy store for adults. Guests can choose a gin from the likes of Monkey 47, Beefeater and Dodd's, and from the three flavors of Thomas Henry's tonics－and then add "something special": cucumber ice or homemade chamomile bitters. One can hardly go wrong with all the choices.

Sweet treats are as delightful to contemplate as they are to eat. A Folly Trolley, like those running around at old-fashioned Cantonese tea-drinking restaurants serving dim sums, brings all the guilty pleasures to your fingertips.
