Chinese New Year is an occasion often filled with a flurry of activities, from spring cleaning the home and buying new clothes to cooking traditional dishes and paying visits to relatives and friends. Helping to spread the cheer (and lighten the load) are these gift sets and hampers that are specially designed and curated to delight everyone who receives them.
Baker’s Brew
Specially for CNY, local artisanal bakery Baker’s Brew takes inspiration from uniquely Singaporean flavours to create the Peranakan Nostalgia Collection.
Ondeh Ondeh Cookies ($27.80) are made with a pandan-infused dough and filled with a generous amount of gula melaka coconut filling, while Muah Chee Peanut Cookies ($26.80) are made with roasted peanuts and peanut butter. The Pineapple Bak Kwa Cookies ($26.80) are given a savoury spin thanks to bak kwa blended with premium Thai pineapple paste. Get all three for $78. Each cookie flavour is packaged in miniature versions of old school biscuit tins decorated with the island’s landmarks.
