Goodwood Park Hotel
The Huat! Tart, SGD38
Goodwood Park's Huat! Tart is a large version of the traditional bite-sized pineapple tart. At 6.5 inches, this scrumptious treat is baked with a homemade fresh pineapple reduction infused with vanilla. This will no doubt be the perfect house gift and festive treat.
4/7
The Pine Garden
Salted Egg Shrimp Cookies, SGD18 (approx. 300g)
Salted egg was all the rage last year, so why not jazz up your festive treat platter with The Pine Garden's Salted Egg Shrimp Cookies? These savoury cookies are infused with a salted egg paste and crushed spicy shrimp - it's definitely not your average cookie!
5/7
Old Seng Choong
Chargold Bak Kwa Pineapple Tart, SGD28.80 (10 pieces)
This black gold nugget holds a generous helping of sweet pineapple jam mixed with slivers of savoury bak kwa. The pastry, made of a butter and charcoal powder mixture, is dusted with gold dust that adds a beautiful sheen.
6/7
Warisan Recipe
Mango Kuih Bahulu, SGD10 (per box)
Now, while uniquely flavoured pineapple tarts are not necessarily a new thing, we have to admit that the kuih bahulu is still largely available in its traditional form. Things are different at Warisan Recipe, however.
This mixture of mango and bahulu batter results in an aromatic and absolutely sweet-flavoured bahulu that will no doubt leave your family and friends wanting more. The store also has other unique bahulu flavours like cheese, chocolate rice and even gula melaka.
7/7
The Butter Studio
Parmesan Cheese Bangkit, SGD22.80
If you love kuih bangkit and cheese, you'll definitely want to get your hands on The Butter Studio's Parmesan Cheese Bangkit. Infused with savoury parmesan cheese, these traditional cookies adopt a unique modern twist that will definitely tantalise your tastebuds!

We don’t know about you, but Parmesan Cheese Kuih Bangkit sounds absolutely divine.

While we know that the Lunar New Year is all about welcoming the new year on a fresh and prosperous note and spending it with family, we also can’t deny that one of the best parts of the festivities is the food. Whether it’s the glutinous ‘nian gao’ cake, scrumptious ‘jiao zi’ (dumplings), and the numerous festive treats like the pineapple tart – we love them all.

Take things up a notch this year and impress your family, friends and guests with a slightly different take on the usual Chinese New Year goodies. After all, why stick to the traditional pineapple tart when you can have a “Chargold” Bak Kwa Pineapple Tart? These charcoal-coloured pineapple tarts, beautifully dusted with gold dust, are filled with a luscious pineapple jam and slivers of savoury salty-sweet bak kwa. Or, treat the ardent durian lovers in your family to Goodwood Park Hotel’s Duo of Prosperity Fish, a large durian pudding that will no doubt have them asking for seconds. And if you love cheese, why not try the Parmesan Cheese Kuih Bangkit?
