Stellar Prosperity Set- Double Boiled Chicken Soup with Fish Maw and Dried Scallop

Double-boiled Chicken Soup with Fish Maw, Dried Scallop, and Matsutake mushroom has a delicate, natural sweetness and a luxurious, umami-rich flavor. The absence of MSG and herbs allows the pure essence of the ingredients to shine. The time-honored double-boiling technique extracts the depth of flavor from the chicken, resulting in a clear yet deeply savory broth. Fish Maw adds a silky, gelatinous texture and subtle richness to the soup. Dried Scallop contributes a briny sweetness with layers of oceanic umami. Matsutake mushroom infuses the soup with its distinctive earthy aroma, slightly nutty flavor, and an elegant, woodsy note.

Stellar Prosperity Set- Roasted Five Spice London Duck

Roasted Five Spice London Duck, originating from Ireland, boasts a symphony of refined flavors and textures, reflecting its exceptional rearing conditions and expert preparation. Raised in a strictly hygienic environment where all entrants to the farm are sterilized, the ducks benefit from superior health and cleanliness. This ensures the meat is uncontaminated and devoid of any off-flavors, further elevating its quality over local counterparts. Besides, allowing the ducks to listen to music for 30 minutes before slaughter reduces stress, improving meat quality.

The duck's meat is intensely flavorful, with a buttery, tender texture that stands out for its superior quality. Compared to local ducks, Irish duck offers a distinctly cleaner and more refined taste. It is entirely free from the characteristic gamey or musky flavor that ducks can sometimes have, making it more palatable to a wider audience.

Its texture is silky and delicate, allowing it to absorb the flavors of the sauce without losing its identity.
