https://www.scmp.com/rss/509339/feed From Chow Tai Fook and Lee Kum Kee to Vitasoy and Camel flasks, many of Hong Kong's most famous brands have become symbols of Asia to the rest of the world.

In 1989, the company created its popular chilled mooncake, which – unlike classic mooncakes baked with a golden, lard-rich crust – feature a glutinous rice flour skin with a mochi-like texture. They are not baked, but instead steamed and served chilled.

Its name hints at its origin – hoisin means “seafood” in Cantonese – yet the sauce contains no seafood. It is entirely vegan, made from fermented soybeans, sugar, vinegar, garlic and spices. The resulting umami flavour is savoury, slightly sweet and spicy. Hoisin sauce resembles oyster sauce in colour and texture, but their flavours differ.

The more that the “Hong Kong is part of China” line was trumpeted by local author­ity figures, the more inevitable it became that the rest of the world would take them at their word.
