Chinese New Year Gifting FAQ

Why is it recommended to buy Kee Wah CNY Vouchers early?

Purchasing CNY vouchers early allows you to enjoy "Early Bird Discounts," making the price more attractive than buying ready-made stock later. Currently, if you purchase 2 vouchers of the same type, you can enjoy the early bird price. For example, with the "Chinese New Year Pudding Coupon (1050g)," the promotional price saves you tens of dollars compared to the original price, making it ideal for consumers who need to buy gifts in bulk.

Are Kee Wah Bakery’s festive foods made in Hong Kong?

Yes. All Kee Wah Bakery products are made in Hong Kong. They are also ISO 22000:2005 and HACCP certified, guaranteeing safety and quality.

How is the Chinese New Year Pudding from Kee Wah different from regular puddings?

The Chinese New Year Pudding from Kee Wah inherits traditional ancient craftsmanship. Unlike some puddings on the market that are mixed using glutinous rice flour, Kee Wah insists on selecting premium Thai glutinous rice and grinding it into a raw rice milk paste for steaming. This traditional method preserves the rich aroma of the rice, resulting in a texture that is exceptionally chewy, soft, and glutinous. It is sweet without being cloying—an authentic flavor rarely found in the market today.
