Exquisite Gifts for Year of the Dragon:
Chi Fung Dried Abalone Collection
The production of dried abalone is an intricate and laborious process, making it a luxurious and extravagant gift.
Chi Fung Ready to Serve South Africa Dried Abalone in Brown Sauce/ Braised South Africa Dried Abalone
Whole South African dried abalone is processed in the brand’s own food production facility in Macau to ensure the rich, original flavour is retained. Long cooking time is not required – simply reheat for 15 to 30 minutes and serve. Each ready-to-serve abalone has undergone high-temperature sterilisation, and it is fragrant and tender with a delightful lingering aroma.
Did You Know? Dried Abalone vs Fresh Abalone
Dried abalone is made by removing the flesh from fresh abalone, discarding the shell and viscera. The abalone is then soaked, cleaned and sun-dried for several months. It takes approximately 10kg of fresh abalone to yield 2kg of dried abalone, this is why dried abalone is more valuable than fresh abalone. The meat of dried abalone is delightfully savoury with a rich flavour and tender, chewy texture. Thanks to the repeated drying process, a scrumptious “soft centre” is created, which is a quality that fresh abalone does not possess.

Japan Aomori Character Apples
Apples are delicious and healthy, and the perfect gift to show someone that you care. This Lunar New Year, city’super has specially selected Japan Aomori Character Apples featuring auspicious greetings, so you and your loved ones can start the new year with hope and happiness.
Japan Aomori Character Apple (city’super / Year of the Dragon / Fook / Kung Hei / Fat Choi / Peace / MM7 / Reunion / Spring / Wishful / Auspicious)
In the early stages of cultivation, skilled artisans carefully wrap each apple in black plastic bags to shield them from direct sunlight. Once the apples reach a certain size, they are individually decorated with text and graphic stickers. Apples require ample sunlight to grow, and only then will the final design appear clear and beautiful. Thus, the artisans regularly prune the branches, rotate the apples and even lay reflective silver cloth on the ground to ensure that each apple receives sufficient sunlight.
Today, there is only one artisan in all of Japan who possesses the expertise to grow high-quality Character Apples. Their dedication and attention to detail render Character Apples even more precious and an exceptionally rare and cherished gift.
