Fook Wong Chicken, Victoria
Working tirelessly with our collaborated farms in Victoria, we dedicate substantial consideration to the barn design, rearing technique, feed production and processing operation, to raise this specialty chicken best for authentic Asian cooking and to be the shining light of a wholesome dinner or celebratory feast.
Fook Wong Cockerel Chicken (young rooster chicken) has a strong body and its virality is on full display through the bright red beard. Our cockerel chicken is nurtured for 100 to 120 days, consuming nutritious natural feed until it reaches 1.3kg to 1.6kg. In comparison to commercial meat chicken which hits 1.6-1.8kg in merely 30 days, the difference is obvious. The longer growth period helps our birds acquire muscles and develop a more nuanced flavour. Low-density farming which is an average maximum 30kg/m2 vs. code requirement of 40kg/m2, allows our Fook Wong Chicken to enjoy ample room to move around and exercise their muscles.
Fook Wong Cockerel Chicken features bouncy flesh under the golden yellow skin, but it is the splendid ‘gai’ chicken flavour that makes the chicken beloved by epicures.

For those who prefer a more delicate poultry option need not look further than our Fook Wong Pullet Chicken. Once they are fully mature, the birds are hand-picked, individually packed and dispatched immediately, so that
they can arrive at the kitchen in the best condition.
Cultivated for about 90 to 120 days, the pullet’s (young hen chicken which has yet to lay an egg) slick yellow feathers and rosy cheeks exudes a gentleness which translates into a subtle gustatory profile.
Its advantages are best exemplified through milder cooking methods such as poaching, steaming and slow cooking. Along with the springy golden skin, its tender flesh carries a mellow sweetness with a tiny bit of chew. No wonder it is highly sought after among award-winning chefs and gastronomes.

Moorabool Valley, Victoria
Our corn-fed duck exemplifies the perfect marriage between the gifted terrains of the Moorabool Valley and the attentive care of the local farmers. Its light-yellow feather and elegant body shape indicate the superior lifestyle it affords. Among a natural, low-density environment, the duck grows up slowly over a 50-day period – in comparison to the commercial system’s 38 days – which allows our duck meat to develop stronger flavour and better texture.
Cooks at homes and restaurants will first realise a much darker cherry-red shade in our duck meat, which is a sign of its intense taste. Also easily noticeable is a thicker, yellowish layer of subcutaneous fat between its outer skin and meat. This contributes to a greater rendering process with the skin crisping up beautifully. Further to that, the fat also helps the duck absorb flavour during the cooking process while preserving the meat’s moisture, so that it will come out perfectly tender.

Silkie chicken has occupied a special place in Asian cuisine for centuries. Not only a gastronomic treasure, the bird is also embraced by Traditional Chinese Medicine for its nutritional qualities – it strengthens our “yin” faculties, reinvigorating our kidney and delaying the iron deficiency anemia among ageing women. Its nourishing properties are also approved by modern nutritionists, as they are high in antioxidants (melanin), protein and Vitamin B.
Aurum Poultry Co’s Silkie Chicken has gorgeous feathers covering its black skin and bones. Its meat is remarkably tender and filled with sweet meat juice. Boiled soup is the optimal cooking preparation. Together with medicinal herbs like codonopsis, astragalus and angelica, the chicken is cooked with its bones smashed, allowing the nutrients inside to be released.
