Why Chinese New Year Goodies Matter in Singapore
Chinese New Year goodies go beyond snacks — they symbolise prosperity, togetherness, and renewal. Each item carries meaning:
-
Pineapple tarts represent good fortune (the word “ong lai” in Hokkien means “fortune comes”).
-
Almond and macadamia cookies symbolise happiness and abundance.
-
Gift boxes reflect generosity and gratitude when visiting family or business partners.
In a culture where gifting plays a central role, choosing high-quality, fresh, and beautifully packaged goodies can make your 2026 celebrations stand out.
