The Tao of Gifting

Giving Han Pastry as a gift plays a vital role in Taiwanese tradition. Sharingthese 

time-honored cakes is anecessity when celebrating annual festivals, such as Lunar New 

Year andMid-Autumn Festival, and when marking momentous milestones in people’s lives, 

such as births, birthdays, and weddings.

When offered to friends and loved ones, HanPastry has a longtradition of representing the 

precious relationships between those who givethe cakes as thoughtful presents, and those 

who joyfully receive them. That’swhy Taiwanese consider a carefully chosen pastry as an 

eloquent expression ofrespect, love, gratitude, and joy, all in one bite.
