Tikoy, the sticky, glutinous rice snack that has been a staple during Chinese New Year celebrations, is believed to bring in prosperity into the households that have it.
In Chinese folklore, it is said that when the Kitchen God makes his trip to heaven before the first day of the Lunar New Year to give his report to the Jade Emperor, the emperor of emperors, the sticky rice dish makes the Kitchen God’s mouth sticky, thus preventing him from saying bad things about the families who made offerings of nian gao to him.
Hap Chan, the leading authentic Chinese restaurant in the Philippines, makes sure you have a sticky offering to the Kitchen God as it sells its well-loved tikoy again. It’s available in original, ube, and white flavors, and comes in a nifty box that you can readily give to someone you wish good luck.
