Best Chinese New Year Goodies You Must Try in Singapore

Chinese New Year will never be complete without days/weeks (and maybe a whole month) of stuffing yourself with irresistible goodies! Check out these alluring goodies and try not to drool all over your mobile devices!

Ding Bakery

What do you look for in pineapple tarts? For me, I like my pineapple tarts buttery and flaky, and packed with a pineapple filling that has a perfect balance of sweetness and sourness. As I grow older, I don’t want to waste my calories on bad pineapple tarts.

Freshly baked daily with fresh ingredients and no preservatives, Ding’s Bakery’s pineapple tarts come in three variations — the award-winning Premium Melt-In-Your-Mouth Pineapple Tarts, Nyonya Pineapple Tarts, and Melt-In-Your-Mouth Pineapple Ball (French Butter). I really like the Pineapple Tart (Ball) because they are small enough to fit into my mouth, so there’s no need to worry about crumbs falling all over the place! I am very sure that you can’t stop at just one piece, or even one bottle!

Perfect for gifting, their Premium Hae Bee Hiam (Sambal Prawn Cracker), Melt-In-Your-Mouth Kueh Bangkit and Crispy Salted Egg Crab Stick will also earn praises from both the young and old.

Look forward to Crispy Tiger Prawn Sticks (Ma La) which are extremely spicy, and not for the weak hearted, Premium Roasted Coffee Butter Cookies which are forecasted to be the next bestseller, and Ondeh Ondeh ball with real Gula Melaka coconut shreds. All CNY goodies do not contain pork or lard.

Fyre

Traditional treats get a luxurious update at Fyre. The modern snack-maker has a line of three bak kwa, made using premium ingredients and cooked with updated methods. Making a grand return is the popular Lycheewood Pineapple Bak Kwa, which gets sold out every year. Hand-grated pineapples are added into the marination process, not just to add natural sweetness, but to also act as a natural tenderiser. The result is an exceptionally soft, smoky-sweet slice unlike any you can find.

The signature Lycheewood 1945 uses prime cuts of pork jowl and loin to yield a juicier bite without feeling fatty. Each slice then gets coated in a proprietary mix – made with some 36 different spices – for over a month to ensure full infusion of flavour, before getting smoked with lychee wood (a method commonly used to prep Peking ducks) and finished over the charcoal grill to earn a glossy sheen.

For those who prefer a bolder profile, opt for the fiery Lycheewood Mala Xiang Guo made using quality Sichuan peppercorns. The special tongue-numbing spice blend makes this a unique and addictive snack to enjoy. Orders can be placed at https://fyresg.com.
