"Fun in ICH" Series — March 2026
Flavour Quest Factory — A Preserved Meat Making Tour and Workshop
"When the autumn wind blows, it's time to eat preserved meats." This traditional saying highlights that cold and dry autumn and winter seasons are the best time to enjoy and make preserved meats.
The Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) Office will lead participants to visit a local preserved sausage factory. Yue Wo Hop Kee, with over 50 years of history, will introduce and demonstrate the detailed procedures of preserved sausage making, as well as the development of local preserved meat factory. Furthermore, participants will experience one specific step of preserved sausage making — tying the sausages with dried grass strips — to appreciate the skill and effort involved in this craftmanship.

Legacy in a bowl — A Hands-on Vegetable Tea Making Experience and Guided Tour in Pok Fu Lam Village
Vegetable Tea is a festive dish cherished by the Hoi Luk Fung/ Hoklo community. During Chinese New Year, Hoi Luk Fung/ Hoklo families collectively prepare vegetable tea and share with their visiting friends and relatives. This communal activity serves as a tradition that strengthens community bonds and reinforces cultural identity. The word for “vegetable” sounds like "wealth" in the local dialect, symbolising wishes for prosperity.
In this activity, the Pok Fu Lam Village community group will guide participants through steps of making vegetable tea. Participants will have a chance to try making it themselves, savouring its unique flavour while sharing in the festive joy. Furthermore, local villagers are invited to lead a tour through Pok Fu Lam Village. By sharing its history and festival stories, they will help participants discover one of the oldest villages on Hong Kong Island and understand how vegetable tea brings the community together.
