New experiences are hard to come by in our Little Red Dot. Sure, you could go out to the usual places in Singapore and paint the town. But you would rather rein it in for a relaxing time indoors on Netflix and have some quiet to yourself over the weekend.

Durian cravings hit you all of a sudden. You roll up your sleeves and attempt shopping at your usual haunts for that desirable yellow custard fruit. Only, either you don’t see the stalls you frequent, or stall owners tell you that they’re all out of stock for your favourite durians. To your horror, it’s the dreaded off-peak durian season in Singapore.

With calorie woes and health warnings nagging at you from every corner, you’re more resolved than ever this year to avoid these extra calories that are tough to shed.

But Chinese New Year (CNY) just isn’t the same without snacks. Not to mention how unprepared you are in resisting the bountiful display of glorious goodies that are sure to flood your mind this coming festive season.

You’re sitting down at a nicely decorated dining table at CNY. Everyone’s in a great mood with cheerful greetings of welcoming the “niu” year in 2021. 

The whole table is strewn with bright red CNY decorations and gold trinkets. And then your eyes wander to the CNY snacks right in the centre.

We’ve reached that time of year again. Our schedules become hectic as it fills with sourcing for the best pineapple tarts and Bak Kwa in Singapore, islandwide visits to homes of relatives, extended families, and even friends over this festive period.
