Classic Delicacy for Celebrating the Year of Dragon

Chinese New Year Cakes: Traditional greeting appetizer, representing longevity, further progress and promotion in career

The custom of eating CNY cakes has prevailed. You can make CNY cakes delicious simply by frying it with oil or steaming. CNY cakes are often served as breakfast dim-sum or appetizer to greet guests. Traditional types of CNY cakes are familiar to HK citizens, including white radish cake with dried scallop floss, Taro cake with Chinese-style cured sausage & cured bacon slice, Glutinous rice cake with coconut milk, water chestnut jelly cake with crispy water chestnut chips, jujube paste cake with nuts. Some elders still carry on the tradition to make CNY cakes at home and share with the family every year. I remember the experience when I helped make the white radish cake. A whole pan of radish cake takes around 5KG fine shreds of white radish (around 5 radish)and it takes about 2-3 hours to shred them up. Then you separate the juice, dissolve a certain kind of flour to mix solution. Diced and fried the cured bacon and cured sausage, add in preprocessed dried scallops floss. Finally mix everything and season and steam the mixture to finish. The hard work was rewarded with delicious and puffy White Radish cake. Eating CNY cakes means further progress, harvest and longevity. And as the unique CNY tradition in Hong Kong, you always see CNY cakes on your dinning table, whether it’s the morning, noon, or evening, until the 15th of the first lunar month arrives.

Assorted Candy Box: Sweet taste for a sweet new year

During the Lunar New Year, every family prepares an assortment candy box to treat guests. The box is usually round or octagonal, filled with various candies, fried seeds and kernels, sweeten vegetable & fruit, fried flour dessert with sugar, etc. Sweets make people feel happy, they can increase the joy of the new year. Eating candies symbolizes sweet home and smooth coming year. The candy case is usually filled with toffee, coconut candy, chewy fruit candy, lucky candy, chocolate and peanut brittle, contributing to lots of sweetness; Seeds and kernels are chatting companion, such as pistachios, walnuts, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds,symbolizing fruitful harvest. Sweeten vegetables and fruits with sugar frosting symbolize auspicious wishes: for example, sugar lotus seeds represent vital fertility, sugar coconut floss and coconut slice represent longevity of the old and welcoming new-born in the family, sugar citrus represents gold and good luck, and sugar winter melon represents successful business. In terms of fried dough desserts, frosted fried balls brings smile on your face always, while the fried bun will bring you gold and silver. And the fried dumplings, looking like gold ingots, drive in good fortune and wealth.

Dragon Beard Candy: Touch the dragon beard in the New Year and attract good luck from the beginning

Dragon Beard Candy used to be a royal dessert, it is made with ingenious techniques. Hot maltose syrup is stretched repeatedly in cooked glutinous rice flour to get long and fine sugar thread(must be fine enough and easily blown away). Then gently roll the sugar thread and make puffs, fill the puff center with peanuts chips, coconut paste and fine granulated sugar filling. Dragon Beard Candy melts the minute you put it in your mouth and triggers the delicate sweetness at the same time, followed by the different texture and scent of other stuffing. Dragon Beard Candy is usually made on the spot and should be eaten soon, because maltose syrup should be hot enough to make the fine sugar threads without breaking. Besides, moisture and temperature easily cause caking and affect the brittle taste. Giving others Dragon Beard Candy means blessing for wealth, auspiciousness, and lasting happiness. Since it is not very common on the market, it makes a special gift. It’s interesting that every guest behave extra elegantly when they eat Dragon Beard Candy. The candy is puffy and brittle, you have to take little bites and maybe even hold your breath to avoid

accidentally blowing away everything. And this careful way of eating allows people to taste the slight sweetness of maltose, the immediate melting in mouth and the rich texture of multiple fillings.

Dried Seafood and Precious Dried Goods: Gourmets selections to increase gift value

Dried abalone, fish maw, scallops, sea cucumber and dried shrimp, as well as precious dried mushroom are known as the Gold of seafood. The value of gifts immediately increase as soon as they are added in. Everybody are pleased with these luxury food, and these foods are usually prepared as gifts for important occasions such as business outreach, giving gifts to close family, weddings, and birthday dinner of the elderly. Dried seafood and precious dried goods are not only rich in nutrients but also beneficial for strengthening physical fitness and nourishing the skin. And they are excellent juice absorbing ingredients. If you prefer delicate flavor, you can stew them with thick chicken and ham soup. If you prefer thick flavor, you can stew them with pork legs, goose feet and other spices & sauce. In the popular New Year’s fusion pot, dried seafood and precious dry goods are use as topping. Everybody likes their tender and jelly-like texture and succulence of stew cuisine essence.

Cured Sausage: Always have enough food and great taste keep you company

Like quality dried goods, premium cured sausages are traditional gifts of the Chinese New Year. In ancient times, methods to preserve meat was limited. Later the ancient people discover cured sausage can preserve meat for a long time and provide great portability, allowing them convenient source of protein. Day back the time when meat is in short supply only the rich can have meat everyday. Even if people have extra meat, they only share it with close ones. Later, people become afford to enjoy cured sausage for celebrating the Chinese New Year and other festivals. Nowadays, The tradition of giving people cured sausages as CNY gifts continues. Cured sausages gradually become an special seasoning of Hong Kong cuisine as well as a common food. Experienced merchants upgrade the taste of cured sausage and produce the King cured sausage by selecting pig breeds, adopting nutritious pig feed and other body parts of pork, modulating the portion of fat and lean meat, adding in various spices and premium liquor. The King cured sausage goes so well with plain steam rice. Older generation usually prefer cured bacon. I recommend cured liver sausage, the flavor of slightly fermented and ripen liver is so strong and unique.

Mom's Home-made Soup: Precious Ingredients saved for the family exclusively

Every mom who cooks stew sour are literally Michelin 3-star chef to me! During the Chinese New Year, every family cooks soup and treat the family with their carefully-saved precious ingredients.

And you must start cooking early in the morning to ensure long stewing hours and alternate the heat from high to low accordingly. Due to the limited size of the soup pot, every guest who come to visit can only have one bowl of soup. Anyways, this one bowl of essence is delicious enough, without any additives, and the taste comes purely from combination of fine ingredients. The soup is the perfect match of CNY cake appetizer and other crunchy snacks. Exaggeratedly speaking, Hong Kong people can't live without soup, while the delicious juice of precious ingredient has indeed spoiled Hong Kong people's taste.
