Two sides, one world.
One captures Chris's Arbor collaboration - precision, craft, a quiet dialogue with Western technique.
The other tells a more personal story: wedding chocolate, a pizza collaboration, and the nostalgic indulgence of Hong Kong French toast.
Discipline and desire. Memory and invention.
All held within a single, hand-painted cigar case.

A chocolate bar no bigger than your thumb🍫💝
Hand-painted at a miniature scale, where every detail is distilled yet nothing is lost.
Small in scale, deliberate in every mark.

Up close, it’s all in the details.
Each brushstroke echoes Chris’s philosophy of food - intentional, personal, and deeply rooted in memory.

A hand-painted cigar case for Christopher Ho, bringing together defining moments from his culinary journey - from his Arbor collaboration to personal favourites like Hong Kong cha chaan teng French toast.
At the heart of his cooking is an ongoing dialogue between cultures: Western
technique shaped by Chinese roots, reinterpreted through instinct than tradition.
What began with recipes has evolved into something more intuitive and building
dishes around what’s local, seasonal, and available.
More than an accessory, it’s a portrait of taste, memory, and a way of cooking that is always evolving.

Drawing from Christopher Ho’s @ho_la_ho_sik culinary journey, the hand-painted cigar case reflects his thoughtful approach to food, collaboration, and a defining chapter - layered in warm browns and vibrant food tones: golden noodles, toasted amber, soft cream, and bright citrus.
Every colour, every line traces back to a memory, a dish, a union of two lives - held side by side.
From first stroke to final detail, flavour translated into colour.
