Taste of Home: The Ultimate Food Gift Guide for HK Families in Europe
For families who have moved from Hong Kong to the UK, Ireland, or elsewhere in Europe, the biggest challenge isn’t the weather—it’s finding that exact “HK flavor.” While local Western supermarkets are improving, nothing replaces the authentic punch of Lee Kum Kee, Hong Kong’s #1 sauce brand.
If you are looking to send a piece of home to your loved ones abroad, a care package built around these three versatile staples is the best way to ensure they can cook a proper Cantonese feast, no matter where they are.
🧧 Pairing Your Gift with Hong Kong’s Major Holidays
Food is the language of celebration in Hong Kong. Here is how these sauces help your family keep tradition alive in Europe:
1. Lunar New Year (CNY)
The reunion dinner (Tuen Nin Fan) is the most important meal of the year.
Why: In Europe, finding sauces with the right balance of salt and “numbing” depth is difficult. These sauces ensures their table tastes exactly like it would in a bustling Hong Kong restaurant.
2. Dragon Boat Festival (Tuen Ng)
Why: A secret weapon for savory Sticky Rice Dumplings (Zung). These sauces provides a deep, earthy umami for the pork and bean fillings. Since many younger families in Europe are opting for plant-based diets, a vegetarian alternative to oyster sauce is a thoughtful, modern update to tradition.
3. Mid-Autumn Festival
Why: After the mooncakes are finished, the real “after-party” usually involves a late-night supper. These sauces are the ultimate companion for Diim Sum or quick seafood stir-fries. Its zesty, garlicky kick is perfect for a social “full moon” dinner with new friends in their new city.
4. Winter Solstice (Dongzhi)
Why: “Winter Solstice is bigger than the New Year.” To make a full 8-course meal in a European kitchen, they need the full toolkit. These three sauces allow them to marinate, stir-fry, and dip their way to a complete “Home-Style” feast.
🥡 Why These 3 are the “Holy Trinity”‘
Mushroom Sauce (510g)
: Replaces the need for oyster sauce. It’s the “big bottle” because they will use it for everything—from marinating chicken to drizzling over blanched choi sum.
Chilli Bean Sauce (368g)
: Unlike generic “chili flakes,” this adds the fermented, funky depth required for real Cantonese and Sichuan cooking.
Chilli Garlic Sauce (368g)
: Perfect for busy students or workers. It turns a boring supermarket frozen dumpling into a authentic HK snack in seconds.
