Chinese New Year (CNY) is when we tell ourselves that it's ok to eat more and indulge because those extra calories from all the massive meals are totally worth it when you've got delicious food to eat. And in the lead-up to the occasion, there are all the snacks and goodies as well, from sweet, pillowy pineapple tarts, buttery smooth.
Chinese New Year is the absolute worst time in the year to fall sick. Not because it's inauspicious to start the new year with the sniffles, or because clinics will happily rip you off with a festive surcharge…. but because you'll be missing out on delicious CNY goodies like pineapple tarts, kueh lapis, love letters, kueh bangkit, etc. Brand-conscious Singaporeans.
