You know better than to show up empty-handed
We love the idea of a potluck gathering - especially when it's during the busy festive season. Everyone can pull their weight for the obligatory feasts, sans the petty slick talk about how this auntie's daughter's nephew's sister-in-law was 'disrespectful' for not taking leave to 'help out'.
So here is a list of eight tantalising items you can bring to these potluck gatherings. And the best part? Some of them you can get at the very last minute!

6. Traditional steamed cakes from Paradise Group
Hankering for a taste of tradition? Then look to Paradise Group that offers up not one, not two, but three traditional steamed cakes just for Lunar New Year. Available until 15 February in both savoury and sweet variations, the trio set ($65.40) comprises only the classics, namely: carrot cake with Chinese sausage, yam cake with Chinese sausage, and nian gao. All the cakes are chilled at point of collection, which you can heat up before consumption. Or better yet – slice the savory confections into squares and pan-fry till nice and crispy, while the nian gao you can roll around in coconut shavings and enjoy like kueh.
