A true traditional spot for handmade tang yuan we found in Fuzhou 🇨🇳 The rice dumplings here are freshly made, with soft, thin and chewy skins that hit just right. Tried both black sesame and peanut fillings—black sesame ftw (China’s black sesame just hits different). We also had the peanut-coated tang yuan balls, chewy with a delicate, nutty sweetness 💯

Tried recently, where they serve halal charcoal-smoked gyukatsu using A5 Wagyu flown in from Japan-super tender and buttery, then fried and finished with a nice smoky touch. The ribeye, striploin and tenderloin sets are the highlights, and they come with a bunch of condiments like fresh wasabi and sea salt to go with the meat.

Sides like beef curry, oysters and menchikatsu are solid too, plus some non-beef options if needed. There’s also a promo now (till 31 Mar 2026): free 60g A5 sirloin if you order 2 sets, so quite a good time to try.

at CHIJMES has a huge range of samgyetang — 10 different versions made with organic chicken, Korean ginseng and plenty of herbs. You’ll find options like Spicy Cure, Rejuvenation with black garlic, Collagen broth and even Black Truffle. The soups are hearty and comforting, great for sharing too. Pair your soup with free-flow banchan and sides like Minari Pancake 💯 and Ddukgalbi, then end on a sweet note with black sesame or ginseng ice cream.

is a Hunan restaurant from China with 8 outlets in Singapore. For this CNY, they introduced four limited-time dishes: Lamb Ribs with Sweet Potato Sheet, Stir-Fried River Shrimps with Green Pepper, Braised Oxtail with Quail Eggs, and the Xiang-Style Fragrant Spicy Crab, which I tried and enjoy.

We also had the signature Big Shrimp w Vermicelli and Garlic. It came with six peeled prawns topped with minced garlic, and the vermicelli really soaked up all the garlicky sauce. Other dishes we tried were Steamed Pork Ribs w Mixed Grains, Dry-Fried Green Beans w Preserved Mustard Greens and individual Lotus Root Soup🧧

Tried a few CNY goodies from this year, such as the Duck Egg Roll - duck eggs turn the classic egg roll into a treat, giving it a buttery texture. The Mini Ondeh Ondeh has that nice gula melaka coconut centre that’s not too sweet. I also liked the crunchy Almond Florentine, and the Bak Kwa Tau Sar Piah is a good one to grab if you like something savoury and flaky. Nice little additions to the snack table 😋🧧

Been having (formerly Baker’s Brew) CNY snacks almost every year and their Ondeh Ondeh Tarts are the highlight for me, with a fragrant pandan crust and a rich gula melaka coconut filling. There’s also the Pineapple Bak Kwa Tarts this year, pairing smoky bak kwa bits with tangy pineapple paste, and the Hae Bee Hiam Cookies for those who prefer something savoury with a spicy shrimp kick. You can grab them individually or as a set of three for $88—easy options for visiting this CNY🧧

is rolling out a CNY menu for a limited time, along with a new Black Truffle Chicken Bun. The festive dishes include glutinous rice with steamed chicken in wine broth, steamed scallops with a light Sichuan pepper kick, and crispy noodles topped with prawns and abalone sauce. My fav is the pan-fried nian gao 🙌🏻

Down to my last slice of bak kwa from .sg - and I just found out they’re already sold out for CNY. Guess this makes it even more precious 😂🧧

is rolling out some festive CNY bakes for the Year of the Horse, such as horseshoe-shaped breads for good luck, along with familiar favourites like salted egg and bak kwa buns. The Lucky Banana Cake is soft, fluffy and easy to share, while the festive cookies come in classic flavours like almond butter, scallion butter and pineapple pastry. Overall, it’s a nice mix of sweet and savoury treats to snack for this coming cny 🧧🙌🏻

is known as China’s No.1 nourishing hot pot and a pioneer of clear soup individual hotpot, now making its international debut in Singapore. I tried their signature Matsutake Hot Pot, a comforting, umami-rich broth simmered with matsutake and over 15 types of fungi. Highlights also included thick-cut A5 wagyu, sweet hairy crab, Yunnan purple cabbage, plus dipping sauces and fruits—ending on a high note with their fragrant matsutake fried rice and this cute panda mango pudding for dessert 🐼

A comforting matcha shaved ice from Fuzhou 🍵❄️ Not too sweet, nicely earthy, and especially shiok to enjoy in the cold weather.
