The idea behind the Ysnore Nasal Spray (right, HK$280 for 10ml) is that if your nasal airway is clear, you won't have to breathe through your mouth while you sleep, and hence you won't snore.

It's not easy being a carnivore these days, with the reports of meat tainted with drug-resistant bacteria caused by feeding livestock antibiotics. But it's heartening to know there are safe restaurants like Linguini Fini in Hong Kong. Set to open at the end of the month in Central, the Italian joint will showcase pork and home-made pasta, whipped up with TLC under direction of executive chef Vinny Lauria, formerly of Mario Batali's Babbo in New York City. The pigs used hail from Bath, England, and are raised in Hong Kong sans hormones or antibiotics. www.linguinifini.com
