This Diwali, Yauatcha India, the contemporary Cantonese dim sum teahouse by Aditya Birla New Age Hospitality, joins hands with Giggling Monkey Studio to present House of Fortune, a festive patisserie collection inspired by the whimsical world of The Good Fortune Supermarket, a playful creative concept for the festive collection.
Bringing together delicate macarons, mooncakes and elegant petits gâteaux, the collection celebrates joy, prosperity and togetherness through a playful creative concept.Designed around the idea of a fantastical supermarket filled with delightful treats, House of Fortune brings a playful spirit to festive indulgences, combining varied flavour profiles, textures and ingredients to offer a distinctive addition to Diwali celebrations and gifting. Speaking about the collection, Udai Pinnali, CEO, Aditya Birla New Age Hospitality, says, “This collaboration reflects a shared belief that gifting should feel both memorable and meaningful. For years, Yauatcha’s Diwali collections have served as a platform for emerging artists and creative voices, bringing together the worlds of art, culture and patisserie.
This year, Yauatcha partners with Mehek Malhotra of Giggling Monkey Studio, whose whimsical illustrations bring the imaginative world of the Good Fortune Supermarket to life with creative packaging. Rooted in European patisserie techniques yet inspired by familiar Indian flavours, House of Fortune is a celebration of craftsmanship, creativity and the spirit of Diwali. Discover a thoughtfully curated collection of artisanal chocolates, delicate macarons, elegant petits gâteaux, mooncakes, tea cakes and more, each crafted as a sweet symbol of joy, prosperity and celebration. Bring a little good fortune home, or share it with those you cherish, through a collection designed to make every festive gesture feel special.”
Sharing the inspiration behind the collaboration, Mehek Malhotra, Founder of Giggling Monkey Studio, says, “I believe I manifested this collaboration with Yauatcha and the Giggling Monkey Studio when I wished for some luck in my life. I was hoping for a lucky year and took inspiration from that to create designs that would bring good fortune in all of our lives. I wanted to use the warm colours of Diwali but not lean into traditional patterns. Colour flows naturally in the work I do and you can taste these colours when you experience moments of joy this Diwali with your friends and family. Discover the House of Fortune Diwali collection, which also has my favourite Carrot and mawa mooncake, which is a take on Gajar halwa, among other sweet festive surprises.”
Available to experience at Yauatcha India across all outlets in Mumbai, Kolkata and Bengaluru, House of Fortune invites guests to explore the festive collection as part of their dining experience, with select offerings also available to purchase and enjoy beyond the restaurant, as well as for delivery. From indulgent chocolate creations to delicate macarons and festive mooncakes, the collection offers a selection of sweet treats to share with loved ones this Diwali.
