Keep a cast iron or carbon steel wok on hand to create classic stove top dishes that inspire nostalgic thoughts of Lunar New Year feasts from the past.
Enjoying authentic Asian flavours
Make a memorable meal featuring authentic flavours with sauces, canned goods, and other ingredients typically used in classic Chinese and East Asian cuisine. Bagged rice and dried noodles make it simple to prepare a hearty base for your favourite Chinese dishes and dried spices help you achieve just the right flavour. Coconut milk, stir-fry sauce, and rice vinegar are pantry staples, while peanut oil and soy sauce in bulk bottles let you keep a steady supply of these essentials year-round. Stock up on green tea and packages of traditional treats to offer your guests before or after the big meal. An electric water dispenser gives guests the option of preparing their own hot tea or enjoying a cup of warm water as they wish and stainless mug tumblers let you carry a hot drink with you while you head out to enjoy temple fair celebrations or lion dance performances.
Creating a festive atmosphere

Party supplies featuring bright red tones get guests in the mood for a Lunar New Year event. Decorate your door with welcoming hangings that invite friends to step inside, then fill your home with celebratory decor to set the right tone for your Spring Festival feast. Packs of melamine, wood, or bamboo chopsticks provide a ready supply for guests who sit down for a traditional meal at your table and decorative dinnerware and serving plates keep everything looking coordinated. Set all of your dishes at the center of your dining table for easy access or set up a buffet on a sideboard to let party guests nibble on traditional treats throughout your event.
