It’s a tradition to bring your friends and family lucky gift boxes during Lunar New Year. Let’s check out some of the most popular gift sets curated by local Vancouver restaurants and bakeries. —Louisa Chan
Popular patisserie Buttermere’s Lunar New Year sweet boxes were sold out just days after the official launch. We’re sorry if you’ve missed out … but here’s your chance to get a taste of something equally delightful! The Tiger Gift Box A ($68) is a collaboration between Buttermere and A.Bento; it contains a pack of cranberry snowflake crisps and koi hard candies by Buttermere plus house made XO sauce and house-made pineapple spicy sauce by A.Bento. For those who love to cook, A.Bento’s Tiger Gift Box B ($68) comes with four essential sauces in Taiwanese cooking, including house-made XO, pineapple spicy, spicy and garlic sauce. Grab one before they sell out … again!
“Gong Hai Fat Choy,” meaning Happy Lunar New Year, has never sounded so sweet. This tiger chocolate ($45) is filled with This Temper Chocolate and Pastry’s famous caramel salty chocolate balls and sits on a chocolate base with the Lunar New Year greetings. Available on February 1.
Beaucoup Bakery is introducing its Lucky Meow 88 Collection for Lunar New Year 2022. The Lucky Meow Cookie Box ($38 for 18 pieces) featuring three flavours—a yuenyeung (traditional HK-style coffee and tea blend) cookie with a pineapple cookie crust, sesame puffs, and salted egg yolk sables—is a perfect fusion of Cantonese and French pastry. Depending on how big your celebration is, the 88 Gift Box ($88) has a little bit of everything for everyone in the family: Holy Duck Chili Oil (a special collaboration project with Chinatown BBQ crafted by Holy Duck Chili Oil), Japanese yuzu marmalade, a Lucky Meow Cookie Box, a Thai Tea Chocolate Lucky Cat charm, a cinnamon croissant palmier and Yuzu almond financiers—there’s never too much for the new year!
