Exquisite Delicacies Paired with Wines: The Ultimate Choice for Celebrations

The aged fragrance of time and the freshness gifted by mountains and seas converge within the gift box, where every detail exudes quality. Each gift and tasting experience carries the full essence of the Chinese New Year and heartfelt blessings.

Artisanal XO Sauce: Condensed Umami, Flavorful Accent

Saai Yue Heen's XO Sauce, crafted under the guidance of the restaurant’s chef, uses an exclusive Cantonese recipe and features premium dried scallops and Jinhua ham as core ingredients. The sweetness of the scallops harmonizes with the savoury richness of the ham, which then undergoes a meticulous multi-step simmering process allowing the flavours to fully meld and permeate. Its vibrant red hue and rich, mellow taste deliver a savoury-sweet finish with lingering notes, making it an essential condiment for home cooking or banquet highlights.

Flavourful Taro Cake: Nostalgic Taste, Perfectly Pan-Fried

Handcrafted taro cakes revive the nostalgic flavours of traditional Chinese New Year celebrations. Made by taro with cured sausage, the cakes boast a velvety texture where the earthy taro aroma intertwines with the savoury richness of cured sausage. Simply pan-fry for a crisp exterior and soft interior, releasing an intense fragrance. Perfect as a delightful everyday snack or an appetizer for festive family gatherings, the cakes add a touch of warmth to reunion moments.

Cantonese Radish Cake: A Classic Cantonese Cake, Symbol of the Spring Festival

Radish cake is a quintessential savoury pastry of Lingnan cuisine. Its base of crisp, sweet white radish blends with the rich, fatty aroma of cured meats, creating a perfectly balanced savoury flavour enjoyed that is enjoyed by all ages. Alongside shrimp dumplings and chicken feet, it's hailed as one of the three kings of Cantonese dim sum, an indispensable dish on Cantonese festive tables. The word cake (糕) symbolizes step by step, higher and higher (步步高升), while radish (萝卜) is also called cai tou (菜头), meaning good fortune (好彩头). This dual auspicious meaning elevates this humble delicacy into a vital symbol of festive ritual, embodying the Cantonese culinary philosophy of using local ingredients to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
