Hong Kong shoppers can score abalone, fish maw, and shiitake mushroom gift sets from HK$99 as YATA partners with nine heritage dried seafood brands through September 27.
The festive season often brings a familiar dilemma: how to present impressive gifts to elders and relatives without breaking the bank. YATA, one of Hong Kong’s premier supermarket chains, has launched its “YATA Mid-Autumn Festival Fair,” addressing this challenge head-on with steep discounts on premium dried seafood bundles. Running now through September 27, 2026, the promotion features collaborations with nine established dried seafood houses, including Koon Yin Cheong, Nam Pak Hong, On Kee, Yat Pan Koon, Ping Wo, Tin Lung, and A-One. Select lucky bags are offered at discounts reaching 61 percent off regular retail prices.
The campaign targets consumers seeking ready-to-gift solutions that combine traditional Mid-Autumn essentials like abalone, fish maw, dried shiitake mushrooms, and nourishing soups in single packages. With additional savings available through UnionPay payment methods, the promotion aims to make high-end dried seafood accessible to a broader audience during a period when household budgets face increased pressure.
