Lion Dance Buns: A Sweet Symbol of Good Fortune
No Chinese New Year celebration is complete without symbolic sweets, and Xi Home’s handcrafted Lion Dance Buns are set to be a highlight this spring.
Made using authentic Northeastern Chinese pastry techniques, the dough undergoes a specific fermentation process that ensures an exceptionally light and fluffy texture.
Inspired by the traditional Lion Dance — a performance believed to bring luck and ward off negative energy — each bun is beautifully sculpted into two distinct parts:
-
The Lion Head: Filled with rich, silky custard, symbolising prosperity and good fortune.
-
The Lion Body: Infused with premium matcha, delivering a natural green hue and earthy aroma that perfectly balances the sweetness of the custard.
These intricately designed buns are ideal for gifting, sharing and celebrating with loved ones.
How to Order the Lion Dance Buns
The Lion Dance Buns are available to pre-order via Xi Home’s official website: https://www.wjxfoodculture.co.uk
Orders can be collected in-store between 1st and 15th February. As these seasonal treats are produced in limited quantities, early ordering is strongly recommended.
