Chinese New Year is one of those times of the year where we willingly put aside our weight-loss resolutions so that we can feast on all those new year goodies.
The annual Chinatown Chinese New Year bazaar is cancelled for 2021 due to the pandemic, but that doesn t mean there is a lack of places where we can stock up on our favourite goodies and snacks.
However, if you want to skip the conventional options like pineapple tarts, love letters and arrowroot chips to go for something quirkier and more different, this is possible too. There are places that have come up with unique Chinese New Year goodies such as dim sum macarons, golden prawn otah quiche and cempedak nian gao that will definitely pique your guest s interests when they come over to visit.
