1. Hong Bao

Antoinette

How can you resist this Chinese New year offering, seethed with red dragon fruit for taste and colour, and stuffed with chewy mochi or nian gao? The filling makes it all the more special as it’s made in-house using black sugar, fried shallots and lightly candied yam and sweet potato; for contrasting taste, you also get fluffy pork floss and salted egg.

Available during the Chinese New Year period.

Please email sweets@sugardaddy.com for orders and enquiries.

2. Wu tao gao

Violet Oon

It’s best to include this yam cake in your bountiful spread, as it signifies “going upwards in the year ahead”. As it’s from Peranakan doyenne Violet Oon, you’re assured that it’s delectable, too. It’s the true definition of savoury with the yam bedecked with dried prawns, Chinese sausages, dried mushrooms, minced pork and five spice powder. After it’s steamed, the ensemble is garnished with chillies, spring onions, coriander leaves, and deep-fried shallots.

Available from January 22 and an advanced order of 2 days is required.

Please call 9834 9935 or email eat@violetoon.com for orders and enquiries.

3. Barbecued bacon bak kwa

Hock Wong

If the bak kwa isn’t indulgent enough, Hock Wong creates a bacon version you need get your hands on now before it runs out. What looks like a 20cm bacon strip is actually premium pork belly that has the perfect ratio of sweetened meat and luscious fat. Each strip is carefully roasted for a caramelised and slightly charred finish.

Available now while stocks last.
