By, Tuan Nurfaqihah Tuan Muhammad and Afrina Natasya Anuar

In the middle of deadlines, assignments and endless revision, students often forget the importance of taking short breaks, especially during the peak of the semester. This tense moment will lead to stress, energy reduction, and exhaustion even when doing the simplest task. During such an overwhelming moment, a small indulgence like MY QT Bites can come to the rescue and serve as a perfect companion for a well-deserved study break with a little touch of sweetness and comfort.

Much scientific research has been conducted and most of them suggest that eating sweet foods can help reduce our stress levels. According to an article by Vinmec International Hospital, (see:                   https://www.vinmec.com/eng/blog/does-eating-sweets-help-reduce-stress-en), consuming sweets can improve mood and effectively reduce stress which relates to hormones such as cortisol which help individuals feel more relaxed.

This justifies why students will reach and search for desserts during the study session, especially after a long and tiring day stressing out doing assignments and revision. It is not just a sign of having cravings, but a natural response to releasing stress.

If you find yourself wandering in the Gombak Food Fest 4.0, there is one booth that you might not expect to fall in love with but somehow you will.

MY QT Bites is more than just a dessert brand; it offers bite-sized happiness and reward after a hectic day of classes. As highlighted on the Gombak Food Fest’s Instagram post (@gombakfoodfest), it mentions, “Sweet cravings that take you to cloud nine” and describes their desserts as, “a perfect mix of creamy indulgence and pure happiness in every sweet treat.” This shows that this brand highlights on both the authentic taste of foods and the emotional satisfaction of consumers.

The brand’s sense of emotional connection is strengthened by its various desserts that will be served such as their scoopable tiramisu that provides the creamiest and tantalising hint of coffee which takes our tastebuds to another level complemented by the variety of choices of cake slices with rich flavours can offer the comforting taste of sweetness and indulgence. Also, their Japanese creampuffs that feature the balance of a crunchy like exterior and a soft creamy interior that adds as a playful but scrumptious combination. Together, these desserts bring out enjoyment and satisfaction while allowing us to escape reality by indulging in their authentic and made with love desserts.

Imagine your day with piles of assignments, a presentation that you have prepared for the next morning and deadlines that are coming soon and the feeling of exhaustion from doing all these that would not clear in one day. Because of this, have you ever suddenly thought of having some desserts such as chocolates, ice cream or others that you have seen on social media at night and then you suddenly crave for them.

When we feel stressed or overwhelmed, our brains will automatically seek something rewarding which is a sweet dessert that provides a dopamine boost that makes you feel better for a moment as mentioned by, Sofia Mikhail in an article in Fortune (see: fortune.com/well/article/stress-crave-sugary-food-overeating/). Students can connect with MY QT Bites on an emotional level.

For many people, especially university students, desserts are often described as small form of self-care and reward after a hard day. A bite of a cream puff, and a spoon of tiramisu in the afternoon after finishing classes, can make our body and mind feel the satisfaction and make one say, “I’ve worked hard all day, so I deserve to get a little happiness from eating all of this.” That sweet and soft texture can bring simple happiness not just because it tastes good, but because dessert becomes a food that you acknowledge as your own emotional needs and support after all the hard work.

Eventually, the soft texture, creamy and sweetness will embody our emotions which reminds us that such simple and small treats can reward ourselves after a tiring day. With delight and the taste and texture that can melt in our mouths immediately, MY QT Bites illustrates that sweetness can come from the moment we share, and the small pleasure that we enjoy together.
