Ming Pavilion in Island Shangri-La, under the culinary direction of Chef Jack Lam, has unveiled a series of special gift sets inspired by Hokkien flavours for the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival.
The Dragon Boat Festival is an annual event celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It holds great significance in Chinese culture as it commemorates the legendary poet and scholar Qu Yuan. As part of the festivities, gifting sticky rice dumplings, or zongzi, symbolises unity, prosperity, and warding off evil spirits.
For those looking to savour the authentic flavours of Fujian-style rice dumplings, Ming Pavilion presents the Mini Gourmet Sticky Rice Dumpling Gift Set (HK$378). This set includes the Mini Fujian-Style Sticky Rice Dumpling with Pork Belly, a flavourful combination of mushrooms, salted egg yolk, pork belly, dried shrimp, and chestnuts encapsulated in a tender glutinous rice dumpling.
Additionally, the set features the Mini Sticky Rice Dumpling with 25-year Preserved Radish and Organic Pork Belly. The exquisite 25-year-old preserved radish enhances the sweetness of the succulent pork, delivering a truly gourmet experience rooted in tradition.
The Ming Pavilion Mini Sticky Rice Dumpling Exquisite Gift Set (HK$358) offers a delightful combination of two unique glutinous rice dumplings. The Mini Sticky Rice Dumpling with Black Glutinous Rice and Vegetarian Meat features a blend of plant-based meat nestled within a sweet black glutinous rice dumpling.
Meanwhile, the Mini Sweetened Sticky Rice Dumpling with Black Sesame provides a twist on the classic sweet dumpling by incorporating fragrant black sesame for a healthier yet equally indulgent option.
Finally, the Ming Pavilion Savour Symphony Trio (HK$408) showcases a trio of flavourful sauces—Sakura Shrimp Sauce, Preserved Vegetable Sauce, and Mushroom Sauce—that capture the soul of Fujian delicacies.
As a gesture of appreciation, Shangri-La Circle members can enjoy 20% off for orders placed before 28 May 2025, with discounts also available for bulk purchases. Moreover, every purchase of Dragon Boat Festival rice dumplings, goodies, hampers, and gift boxes over HK$12,000 will entitle customers to HK$600 worth of dining vouchers, ensuring a rewarding experience for all.
