Love letters and plain bak kwa too boring? Try these unique Chinese New Year treats
Love letters and plain bak kwa too boring? Try these unique
Chinese New Year treats We are all partial to our own Chinese New Year food traditions, whether it is lining up for bak kwa from a specific brand, ordering pineapple tarts from our favourite store or baker, or drinking orange soda to wash down the reunion meal. Given everyone's unique preferences, gifting food and drink during the festive season can be a challenge. After all, you want your recipient to like their gift enough to make precious stomach space for it. Enter the bevy of unconventional Chinese New Year treats that just get more abundant and creative each year. We ate our way through them and picked out a few to suit various giftees and occasions. FOR THE FUSSY FOODIE: CNY MIXED PASTRY BOX FROM TIGERLILY PATISSERIE Following the closure of the Michelin-starred Vianney Massot Restaurant in the middle of last year, its young pastry chef Maxine Ngooi began selling pastry boxes from her online bakery Tigerlily Patisserie. For Chinese New Year, she has created a box of five special pastries with distinctly oriental flavours. These include an upside down pineapple cake kissed with whiskey, a black sesame mochi brownie, a milk bun stuffed with dried shrimp sambal, a char siew-filled “moneybag” made of filo pastry, and a laminated brioche swirled with dried Dongguan sausages and caramelised onions. These boxes (S$40) make for lovely, not-quite-traditional edible gifts. FOR THE GLUTEN INTOLERANT: GLUTEN-FREE SALTED EGG YOLK PINEAPPLE TARTS FROM SIMPLE INDULGENCE Gluten-sensitive folks can now have their pineapple tarts, and with salted egg too. This boutique pastry shop makes addictive salted egg yolk pineapple tarts (S$36 for 13 pieces) with a blend of flours including potato and tapioca starch. There are also Egg Free Lucky Pops (S$26 for 210g), which are essentially cookies in an assortment of Japanese matcha almond, coconut, and Maldon sea salt flavours. FOR THE PASTRY ANGLOPHILE: MINI MANDARIN ORANGE MARMALADE TARTLETS FROM PAUL These tarts (S$28 for a box of eight) taste as good as they look. Layered with mandarin orange jelly, milk chocolate crunchy pearls, mandarin orange mousse and almond cream, these petite bites are encased in delightfully buttery sable pastry shells. Paul is also selling a selection of mini croissants (from S$18 for a box of eight) for the season in flavours like pumpkin floss with seaweed and mayo, bak kwa with bechamel and mozzarella, and hae bee hiam made with spicy sakura shrimp and kaffir lime.
