Lunar New Year is a time for celebration and welcoming joy and prosperity with family and friends. The St. Regis Hong Kong welcomes the auspicious Year of the Rat this year. The rat is the first of the zodiac animals, in Chinese culture, rats are seen as a sign of wealth, cleverness and quick thinkers, and they represent abundance and new beginnings. 

Homemade traditional Chinese New Year Puddings and Gift 

Rùn has created three handmade Chinese New Year puddings, a traditional glutinous rice pudding prepared by ONE – MICHELIN – starred chef Hung Chi-Kwong. The pudding is symbolic for reaching new heights of prosperity in the forthcoming year. 

  • Japanese Daikon Radish Pudding – this traditional cake is made with shredded daikon radish from Japan and packed with wholesome ingredients such as shrimp, shiitake, conpoy, Chinese sausages and Jinhua ham. Traditionally, radish pudding can be enjoyed fried or steamed and represents good fortune. The Japanese Daikon Radish pudding is priced at HKD388 per box. 
  • Rose-Flavoured Brown Sugar Pudding – this classic sticky ‘leen goh’ is an elevated glutinous rice pudding made with Okinawa black sugar balanced with rose flavouring adding a delicate aroma and makes the pudding less sweet. Traditionally made with cane sugar, this treat is one for the more health conscious. The pudding is priced at HKD288 per box. 
  • Taro Cake with Japanese Dried Oysters – To celebrate the Year of the Rat, Chef Hung Chi-Kwong added a touch of delicacy into the taro pudding with Japanese dried oysters which help add a taste of freshness to the traditionally savoury pudding available at HKD368 per box. 
  • Homemade X.O. Sauce – Chef Hung Chi-Kwong recreates this Hong Kong traditional condiment with his home-made recipe created from years of experience. Each jar contains a decadent combination of dried shrimps, conpoy, and Yunnan ham; seasoned with shallots and garlic and preserved in a hot chilli oil. The X.O. Sauce is priced at HKD388 each.
