Snacks & Sips for Chinese New Year 2025!

The Yu Sheng, the reunion meal, the traditional dishes. All those are great, but let’s be real. The snacks and sips are the unsung heroes of any party – let alone a Chinese New Year celebration.

So, we’ve curated a guide to the nibbles and drinks that will have your guests raving throughout the festivities. Let’s jump right in!

The Marmalade Pantry

CNY 2025 Snacks & Sips: The Marmalade Pantry

First up, we have The Marmalade Pantry’s delectable festive treats. Their Golden Trio Collection (S$75+) steals the show, featuring new indulgences like Pineapple Shortbread and Miso Peanut Cookies, all carefully placed in a limited-edition, three-tiered The Marmalade Pantry Tiffin. For those craving more, their latest à la carte cookie jars – including the Salted Milo Dinosaur Cookies and Cereal Coconut Butter Cookies (S$12+ each) – offer an irresistible crunch.

Fellow nut lovers, don’t the Miso Peanut Cookies pique your interest? And don’t even get me started on the Salted Milo Dinosaur Cookies – I’d imagine the malty, salty goodness makes every bite dangerously addictive. These flavour combos sound nostalgic and novel at the same time!

Rempapa

CNY 2025 Snacks & Sips: Rempapa

Chinese New Year is all about reunion and nostalgia, and what better way to celebrate than with Rempapa’s handcrafted kuehs? Made fresh daily with carefully sourced ingredients, these heritage desserts are featured as a must-try in The Museum of Ice Cream’s Sweet Spots guide – so they’re the real deal! 

Allow me to introduce Rempapa’s stars this time round – the Kueh Bengka and Kueh Kosui. The Kueh Bengka, with its golden-brown crust and rich tapioca base, is the kind of treat you have to savour slowly, with each bite bursting with the comforting flavours of coconut milk and pandan. 

The Kueh Kosui, steamed to perfection, has a soft bouncy texture with a balance of fragrant gula melaka and freshly grated coconut. Not only are these kuehs satisfying sweet treats, they double as fantastic artisanal gifts for your loved ones!

BreadTalk

CNY 2025 Snacks & Sips: BreadTalk

A name we all recognise – BreadTalk! To no one’s surprise, they’ve got loads of indulgent bites for us this Chinese New Year! If you love that melt-in-your-mouth croissant texture, you gotta try the Fortune Ingot Croissant (S$4.50). It’s a buttery, flaky delight that literally shines with edible gold powder. 

For something savoury, the Bak Kwa Delight (S$2.50) takes the classic bak kwa and wraps it in soft, pillowy bread, topped with sesame seeds and a sprinkle of seaweed nori powder for a kick of umami.

Now, to all my salted egg fans, the Salted Egg Lava Mochi Ingot (S$2.50) is calling your name! Imagine biting into a chewy mochi exterior only to reveal a flowy, rich salted egg custard. Yum! And because we can never have too much fortune, there’s the Fortune Pillow (S$2.50), too, which delivers a smooth, velvety yam custard encased in soft bread.

It’s time for the crowd favourite. Yup, you guessed it. Cookies! Which one will you fall for? Is it the nutty crunch of Cashew Nut Cookies, the fragrant Mini Ondeh Ondeh, or the sweet-salty balance of the Chocolate Sea Salt Cookie? No matter what you choose, there’s something for everyone. And they’ve got bundle sets like the Big Blessings (S$68) and Little Blessings (S$42.60) to keep your snack stash fully stocked!

🗓️ Date: Till 12 February 2025

There’s plenty more where that came from! So make sure you check out our article on BreadTalk’s Lunar New Year specials to get the lowdown on their festive lineup.

Toast Box

CNY 2025 Snacks & Sips: Toast Box

Toast Box, Singapore’s well-loved Nanyang coffee chain, is back with a Lunar New Year collection with goodies perfect for binging, gifting, and sharing.

Let’s talk cookies – because we all know they’re a classic at any celebration. This year, Toast Box is bringing back crowd-pleasers like the Mini Pineapple Pastry, now with a pineapple paste filling enveloped in buttery pastry. Love a crunch? Then you’ll love the Cashew Nut Cookie, while the Cereal Blossom Cookie offers a light, delicate bite. And if you enjoy a sweet-salty combo, perhaps the Chocolate Sea Salt Cookie is a treat you’ll fancy!

Toast Box is also spicing things up with different flavours of traditional kuih kapit. Try the nutty Peanut Kuih Kapit or take a leap further with the brand-new Sambal Kuih Kapit for a fiery kick. One bite, and you’ll be reaching for more! 

Because one bottle is never enough, these bite-sized treats are available at S$15.80 per bottle. Need more? Toast Box has got you covered with special bundles – with two bottles for S$28.80 (U.P. S$31.60) or four bottles for S$55.80 (U.P. S$63.20). So hurry and stock up for the festive season!

Heineken Silver and The Meatmen

CNY 2025 Snacks & Sips: Heineken Silver and The Meatmen

Shake things up with Heineken Silver’s collaboration with The Meatmen Channel, bringing two reunion dinner dishes that deserve a spot at your table. Available exclusively from The Plattering Co., these mouthwatering creations come with a complimentary six-pack of Heineken Silver – so you can toast to the Year of the Snake with your loved ones! 

Inspired by the irresistible pairing of chuan chuan (串串) and beer, the Silver Baked Tender Baby Pork Rib serves 6 to 8 pax with Aromatic Mala Dry Rub (S$188) features succulent baby back ribs coated in a fiery mala-spiced dry rub. And the Heineken Silver cuts through the richness of each bite with its crisp, clean taste! 

The Silver Pot of Treasures (S$368), on the other hand, is a modern twist on pen cai. This luxurious surf-and-turf creation feeds up to 8 pax – with its deep umami flavours making another great pair with Heineken Silver’s smooth, light maltiness for a refreshing culinary experience.

If you’re having a larger reunion, why settle for one when you can have both? The Silver Abundance Bundle (S$468) combines these two signature dishes, transforming into a centrepiece at the table.
