Nian gao, also known as tikoy, is a sweet treat made from glutinous rice, flour, potato starch, coconut milk and sugar. Roughly translated, it means “higher year” in Mandarin. The sticky, sweet confection symbolizes family unity, which makes it a popular gift among family, friends, and business partners during this season.
Makati Shangri-La Manila’s nian gao creations include the prosperity fish and the traditional gold bar. These fortune favors are available at the hotel’s main lobby from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily until Feb. 12, 2024.
