SINGAPORE – The Chinese New Year period can be difficult for many reasons: intrusive questions, family feuds, having to part with a chunk of hard-earned cash for those obliged to hand out hongbao.
But, hey, at least the snacks are good. And it is one of the few times of the year you may not get judged for indulging. Your nosy aunt might comment on your weight tomorrow, but today, she is pushing a plate of glossy barbecued meat towards you. So, dust out the eight-sided togetherness tray and strap on your roomiest pair of pants. With Chinese New Year just around the corner on Jan 29, the season of abundance is nearly here. To celebrate, here are 15 scrumptious snacks to help you ring in (or power through) the new year.
Emperor herbal chicken cookies
Cake and cookie chain Old Seng Choong, known for its nostalgic bakes and Singaporean flavours, is adding a dash of imperial splendour to its festive offerings. Its new Emperor Herbal Chicken Cookies ($26.80) pay tribute to the eponymous dish, in which a whole chicken is stuffed with herbs and steamed till tender.
Here, the cookies are infused with the aroma of Chinese angelica, wolfberry and chuan xiong rhizome – a traditional herb derived from the root of the Ligusticum striatum plant. They are sealed in a maroon box stamped with a golden dragon, for an added dose of grandeur.
Where: Old Seng Choong, various outlets, including B1-14 Paragon, 290 Orchard Road
