Lunar New Year celebrations in Singapore are filled with good food, meaningful traditions, and plenty of festive goodies. Every treat carries cultural symbolism, from prosperity and luck to family unity. Whether you are hosting relatives, visiting friends, or preparing corporate gifts, knowing which snacks to serve helps you create a warm and welcoming festive atmosphere.
If you are planning ahead, you can find a full range of handcrafted festive snacks in Bread Garden’s CNY collection here: CNY Chinese New Year Goodies.
Pineapple Tarts
Pineapple tarts are the most iconic Lunar New Year treat in Singapore. “Pineapple” (ong lai) is often associated with the idea of prosperity arriving, so serving pineapple tarts is seen as a way to welcome good fortune into the home.
At Bread Garden, our signature Premium Pineapple Tart features a rich buttery pastry and fragrant pineapple jam filling that is baked in small batches for freshness. These are usually the first jars to be finished during visiting, so many families stock up early or add them into their goodie table as a centrepiece snack.
Kueh Bangkit
Kueh Bangkit are thin, crispy wafers that bring back childhood memories for many Singaporeans. They are traditionally seen as “letters of love” or messages of good wishes, making them a meaningful treat to serve when guests visit.
Light, aromatic and easy to share, love letters fit perfectly on any CNY snack table and pair well with other cookies and tarts from the CNY Chinese New Year Goodies selection.
Nut Cookies (Almond, Cashew, Macadamia)
Nut-based cookies symbolise family unity and togetherness. They are popular across all ages because they combine a buttery cookie base with crunchy roasted nuts.
For gifting or serving guests, you can look for sets that feature nut cookies alongside other favourites. One convenient option is Fortune Gift Bag A, which combines popular cookies in a ready-to-gift format that works for both families and corporate clients.
Crispy Chips and Festive Crunchy Snacks
Crispy festive snacks such as arrowhead chips, green pea cookies and crunchy bites add variety and fun to the snack table. They are easy to nibble on during conversations, games or family gatherings, and they suit both younger and older visitors.
Many families prefer to prepare a mix of cookies, tarts and crispy snacks so there is always something for everyone. You can explore different textures and flavours through curated assortments in the CNY Chinese New Year Goodies range.
Gift Boxes and Goodie Bags for Gifting
For visiting relatives, business partners or clients, premium gift bags and boxed sets are a practical and thoughtful way to present CNY treats. They usually include a mix of best-selling items in festive packaging, making gifting easier when you have many people to visit.
If you are looking for something elegant and impactful, Gold Bar Gift Box A is a popular choice for CNY gifting. It combines crowd-favourite treats in a gold-themed box that looks impressive and feels festive.
