Celebrate the Year of the Snake with Jade Garden’s Chinese New Year Puddings

A luxurious symphony of Jinhua ham, sea urchin, and artisan flavours, blending tradition and artistry to celebrate the season in style

ade Garden has launched for the Year of Snake a luxurious series of Chinese New Year puddings, combining timeless traditions with innovative twists to offer a truly unforgettable festive experience. Each pudding is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship, featuring fine ingredients selected with care and prepared by master chefs. These culinary creations, blending classic flavours with modern ingenuity, symbolize good fortune and prosperity, making them the perfect addition to any auspicious celebration.

Among these extraordinary offerings are new creations that showcase the perfect harmony of tradition and innovation. The Roasted Duck and Taro Pudding stands out for its exquisite pairing of fragrant Lipu taro and the rich, smoky aroma of roasted duck pieces, all skilfully prepared with a unique recipe. Complemented by savoury dried shrimps, Chinese pork sausages, and liver sausages, this pudding brings a new dimension to beloved classic flavours.

The much-loved Water Chestnut Pudding returns by popular demand, reimagined with a fresh approach. Carefully selected water chestnuts are cut into thick slices for a satisfyingly crisp bite, while golden slab sugar adds a delicate hint of pure cane sweetness. Lightly pan-frying it brings out its full potential, elevating the flavour and texture of this timeless treat.

Alongside the exciting new highlights, Jade Garden continues its tradition of offering classic New Year puddings, each made with refined recipes to better suit evolving tastes. The Turnip Pudding with Ham and Conpoy comes with an upgraded blend of shredded turnip for a sweeter and more refreshing flavour that spreads evenly throughout. Paired with the rich umami of Jinhua ham, dried scallops, Chinese pork sausages, and liver sausages, the result is a beautifully layered and fragrant classic that lingers long after the first bite.

For seafood lovers, the Sea Urchin and Scallop Rice Pudding brings a luxurious upgrade. Packed with generous portions of premium scallops nestled within crispy rice pudding and paired with the fresh sweetness of sea urchin, this indulgent creation beautifully melds bold flavours of the ocean. It’s a modern take on tradition, designed to intrigue younger diners and fans of adventurous tastes. For an extra touch of luxury, customers can add a 10g tin of caviar ($68) to any savoury pudding. This premium addition not only enhances the flavour but also elevates the gift-giving experience, making it truly exceptional.

On the sweet side, the Chinese New Year Pudding with Ginger uses a secret recipe perfected by Jade Garden’s chefs. The pudding’s soft, sticky texture is highlighted by the addition of aromatic ginger juice, offering a subtle warmth and a delectable taste that appeals to all ages.
