Malang, en.SERU.co.id – In celebration of Chinese New Year 2577 Kongzili, Hotel Tugu Malang introduces the ‘UND Peranakan Signature Hampers’. These hampers fuse Chinese, Indonesian, and European traditions, serving as symbols of prosperity and harmony. This special collection makes an ideal premium gift for family, friends, or business associates.
Budi Sesario, Media Relations for Hotel Tugu Malang, explained that the UND Peranakan Signature Hampers reflect the enduring traditions of Peranakan families. Every element revives the values of togetherness, warmth, and generational culinary heritage, making the hampers a heartfelt symbol for welcoming Imlek.
“Chinese New Year is a time to share hopes, prosperity, and harmony. Through the UND Peranakan Signature Hampers, we aim to bring forth stories, traditions, and good wishes that span generations,” said Rio, as he is known, on Wednesday (February 4, 2026).
One of the highlights in these hampers is the Kueh-Kueh Njonja Babah, an exclusive collection of 40 Peranakan cakes inspired by traditional market snacks and family recipes from old Batavia. Each cake embodies prayers for good fortune, health, and harmony.
“This collection also features the Onde-Onde of Harmony. The top layer consists of arranged kue mangkok, symbolizing ever-expanding prosperity. The bottom layer includes onde-onde filled with salted egg, durian, and black beans,” he added.
Rio continued, noting that each filling carries a philosophy: salted egg represents abundance, durian signifies prosperity, and black beans reflect life’s resilience. This makes the treat a symbol of unity and hope.
“Equally special is the Peranakan Mini Pao Celebration Set, which complements the hampers. These steamed buns have long been known as symbols of blessings and fortune in Chinese-Peranakan culture. Meanwhile, Nastar Royale stands as an iconic dish for major celebrations,” Rio added.
A modern twist comes with the Golden Crumble Nastar Cake. As a finishing touch, the Homemade Nyonya Liauw Nian Gao is included in the UND Peranakan Signature Hampers—a legendary sticky rice cake once famous in Batavia’s Glodok area.
“Through the UND Peranakan Signature Hampers, we are committed to preserving and celebrating our cultural heritage. This collection is a special choice for families, friends, or business partners in welcoming Chinese New Year 2577 Kongzili. Each hamper holds tales of tradition, beauty, and hopes that transcend generations,” concluded Rio. (aan/rhd)
