In the world of modern Chinese cuisine, few names resonate as powerfully as May Chow. A celebrated Hong Kong chef, known for her groundbreaking concepts like Little Bao and Happy Paradise, she has continuously redefined what it means to merge tradition with contemporary innovation. Now, May Chow is stepping into a new chapter, launching her own signature brand—May Chow, one that truly embodies her culinary journey, artistic evolution, and unmistakable flair.

At PURAWISE, we were honored to bring May Chow’s vision to life through the production of her packaging, ensuring that the final result was as bold and dynamic as her flavors. This collaboration was more than just a design project; it was an opportunity to reflect the very essence of her artistry in a tangible, visual form. With the direct involvement of our founder, Jeremy Clodong, and May herself, we produced packaging that encapsulates her brand’s ethos—modern, vibrant, and deeply rooted in culture, exactly as envisioned.
The Evolution of a Culinary Icon
This new chapter is more than just about launching products—it’s about enriching May’s craft, embracing her growth, and refining her creative vision. That same spirit of innovation and refinement was at the core of our collaboration. Chow’s first project under her new brand is a stunning Lunar New Year pudding collection, featuring six unique flavors—from the classic turnip cake and purple sweet potato taro cake to contemporary delights like matcha coconut glutinous rice cake and beetroot turnip cake packed with local Sam Hing Lung rose wine sausages.

Packaging That Speaks to Tradition and Innovation
Just as May Chow reinvents flavors, her packaging was designed to reflect her brand’s identity—bold, elegant, and steeped in cultural significance. We ensured that every detail was produced to the highest standards. The result? A vibrant, eye-catching design that is unlike anything else on the market. The colors, patterns, and structure all come together in a way that seamlessly blends tradition with modernity, much like May’s cooking.
Packaging plays a critical role in how a brand communicates its values, aesthetics, and identity. It’s not just about protecting the product—it’s about telling a story, creating an experience, and evoking emotions. We understand that branding and packaging are powerful tools that help brands stand out, connect with their audience, and leave a lasting impression. That’s why we work closely with our clients to ensure the final product resonates with their vision and achieves the impact they desire.
From concept to execution, May was deeply involved in the creative process, ensuring that every element of the packaging told a story. Each box is more than just a container—it’s a representation of craftsmanship, authenticity, and the excitement that comes with celebrating the Lunar New Year in a fresh, modern way.

A Collaboration That Inspires
At PURAWISE, we hold collaborations like this close to our hearts. Working with someone as visionary as May Chow is truly inspiring. Her creativity and dedication align with our passion for bringing high-quality, impactful packaging to life. May’s journey from restaurateur to brand creator is a testament to what happens when creativity meets perseverance, and we are beyond proud to have been part of this milestone.
With her brand expanding beyond Hong Kong, reaching London, we know this is just the beginning of something extraordinary. We look forward to future collaborations with May and are excited to partner with other visionary brands across Asia, the UAE, and Europe!
