Chinese New Year is a time for celebration! As friends and family reunite, food always takes centre stage. It wouldn’t be Chinese New Year without the constant chatters and the endless choir of munching in the background.
The concept behind BENG CHAI HONG, which translates into “Lil Confectioneries Alley”, is to bring delicious treats from different cities in Malaysia together.
Housed in our hand-drawn illustrated carriers are four mini old-school biscuit tins. Each contains individually sealed confectioneries by renowned bakeries from different cities; Ban Heang from Penang, Ching Han Guan from Ipoh, Kwong Wah Ais Kacang from Petaling Jaya & Wise Chef from Malacca.
In the olden days, meat was considered a luxury that not everyone could afford. It was only served on special occasions. Today, Bak-Kwa is a popular Chinese New Year treat and a lavish gift to share with family and friends as a symbol of Prosperity and Good Luck.
SPIN FOR LUCK LUCK is dedicated to all Bak-Kwa lovers. UNBOX collaborates with BAK-OFF by Oloiya, to bring you 50 pieces of BBQ goodness with 10 delicious flavours to choose from. Can’t make up your mind on what to eat first? Let LUCK decide! We’ve designed a one-of-a-kind Fortune Wheel for you to have some fun and also help you decide on which to devour first.
