1. Bibik Violet’s Orange Sugee Cake

If you like your festive treats rich, buttery, and deeply nostalgic, Bibik Violet’s Orange Sugee Cake is an easy crowd-pleaser. Made the traditional way with semolina, butter, eggs, and finely ground almonds, it leans into that signature sugee texture: moist and dense, with a gentle bite and a faint crunch from the grain. The orange note is the star here—fragrant rather than perfumey—lifting the richness so every slice stays moreish instead of heavy.

For Chinese New Year, the cake is finished with a celebratory touch: candied orange on top and two miniature ang bao decorations that make it feel instantly gift-ready when you arrive at someone’s home. Choose the 7” round for a proper tea-time centrepiece (S$45/Round 7 ), or go for the loaf if you’re hopping between visits and want something easy to portion (S$25/Loaf).

2. CMC x Bee Cheng Hiang Whole Pork Floss Swiss Roll

This Chinese New Year, Chin Mee Chin Confectionery and Bee Cheng Hiang join forces to present a special lineup of Lunar New Year 2026 treats. Beyond dine-in options, select items are available for takeaway — perfect for festive gifting or enjoying at home with family and friends.

A standout favourite is the CMC x Bee Cheng Hiang Whole Pork Floss Swiss Roll (S$16). With a smooth buttercream centre and a generous topping of savoury Bee Cheng Hiang pork floss, it delivers the perfect sweet-and-savoury balance in every bite.

Available online or at Chin Mee Chin Confectionery outlets until 3 March 2026.

3. Prada Caffè’s Chinese New Year Box

For a sleek, conversation-starting gift, Prada Caffè’s Chinese New Year box brings runway polish to the snack table without losing the festive spirit. Created by Mi Shang Prada Rong Zhai—Prada’s fine-dining restaurant in Shanghai—the box is designed like a journey: sixteen compartments, each holding a sweet meant to be discovered one by one, shared slowly, and discussed as you go.

Inside, you’ll find a mix of familiar flavours and refined finishes, including a Red Date Walnut Rice Cake with a soft chew and nutty depth, a Caramel Almond Cookie with warm toasted notes, and an Original Pineapple Cake that lands in that sweet-tangy comfort zone. What elevates it further is the gifting experience: each sweet comes with a small note carrying kind messages and well-wishes, turning the box into something that feels personal, even if you’re gifting it last-minute. It also includes classic red envelopes for an extra touch of auspiciousness.

The box is available for purchase at Prada Caffè at ION Orchard, Singapore.

4. Amazon Fresh’s Lo Hei Cookie

If you want something festive but unexpected—especially for the office pantry or a house visit where everyone has already seen the same pineapple tarts—Amazon Fresh’s Lo Hei Cookie jar is a fun twist done with real intention. Created with local bakery Dapiku Sweets and baking supplier Phoon Huat, the idea is to bottle the lo hei flavour memory into a single snackable bite.

The cookie leans into the sweet-savoury tension that makes lo hei addictive: a crumbly base layered with tangy plum sauce notes, aromatic five-spice, and the unmistakable crunch of pok chui crackers and peanuts. It’s playful, a little bold, and surprisingly familiar once you take the first bite—exactly the kind of jar that gets passed around while people debate what they’re tasting. The cookies are made with halal-certified ingredients, which also makes it an easy, inclusive pick for sharing across different groups.

The limited-edition jar is available exclusively on Amazon Fresh (Amazon.sg) until 16 February, priced at S$28.88 while stocks last.

Pierre Hermé Paris introduces The Jardin Peranakan (S$4.50), a Singapore-exclusive macaron that pays homage to the rich culinary heritage of the Peranakan community — a first-of-its-kind creation for the Maison.

Available exclusively at its flagship boutique at WEAVE, Resorts World Sentosa, the macaron reimagines beloved Southeast Asian flavours such as pandan and kaya through Pierre Hermé’s signature pastry craftsmanship. The result is a delicate balance of refinement and nostalgia, where French technique meets local tradition in a single bite.

To celebrate the launch, The Jardin Peranakan is presented in a box of four adorned with Singapore-exclusive illustrations by artist WHOSMiNG, depicting iconic local landmarks.

The Jardin Peranakan will be available exclusively from 9 February 2026 at Pierre Hermé Paris Singapore.

6. Cédric Grolet Singapore’s Lunar New Year Cakes

At Cédric Grolet Singapore, Lunar New Year is expressed through refined pastry craftsmanship rather than overt festivity. Created exclusively for Singapore, the Mandarin and White Peach desserts draw on traditional auspicious symbolism while remaining unmistakably modern.

The Mandarin, designed to be enjoyed at room temperature, is especially well-suited for gifting. Beneath its delicate white chocolate shell lie layers of mandarin cake and fruit paste, offering both structure and depth without excess sweetness.

The White Peach presents a softer, more understated profile, blending vanilla, peach, and white chocolate into a smooth, restrained composition that feels elegant and comforting.

The Lunar New Year collection is available to pre-order in-store or online from now until 28 February 2026, for collection at Cedric Grolet Singapore from 21 January to 1 March, priced at S$26 each or S$52 for a set of two.

Meticulously crafted, each bite unfolds gently on the palate, balancing richness with restraint.

The tarts are available in classic glass jars as well as a new boxed format, introduced for the first time. Inspired by the Japanese omiyage (お土産) tradition, the boxed set celebrates the joy of thoughtful, well-considered gifting.

9. Janice Wong’s 70% Dark Chocolate Cashew Praline Sea Salt Horse

For those who prefer their festive treats with a contemporary edge, Janice Wong presents a dark chocolate creation centred on depth rather than sweetness.

The 70% Dark Chocolate Cashew Praline with Sea Salt (S$48), themed for the Year of the Horse, balances bitterness, nuttiness, and restraint. The use of cashew praline softens the intensity of the chocolate, while sea salt sharpens the finish. This is less about traditional Chinese New Year flavours and more about offering an alternative for guests who gravitate towards modern dessert profiles.

Available in both in-store and online.

10. Swensen’s Lucky Knock Knock Gold Bar

Chinese New Year at Swensen’s is unapologetically playful. Returning after a popular debut last year, the Lucky Knock Knock Gold Bar (S$48.80/2 x 200g) turns dessert into an interactive experience.

Beneath its metallic exterior lies Sticky Chewy Chocolate ice cream combined with crunchy golden Kit Kat balls, making the act of “knocking” part of the fun. For larger gatherings, the limited-edition 1kg Giant Gold Bar ice cream cake adds scale and spectacle, pairing rich chocolate with Crème Brûlée and a crackable caramelized top.

Swensen’s crowd-voted pricing on Instagram further engages fans, reinforcing its broad appeal and making it one of the most talked-about festive offerings of the season.
