Local artisanal bakery Baker’s Brew made F&B waves last year for creating Singapore’s first Coriander Cake, but it’s a good thing their Lunar New Year offerings are more tapered down.

Their ondeh ondeh cookies ($27.80 for 300g) are their bestseller. Made with pandan-infused dough and rolled with a generous amount of gula melaka coconut filling, these flavourful balls are quite irresistible. It comes packaged in a collectible green tin featuring a fortune cat and firecrackers.

These can also be purchased as part of a bundle of five ($128), with the other cookies including Pineapple Pillows, Hae Bee Hiam Cookies, Pineapple Bak Kwa Cookies, and Peanut Almond Cookies – each housed in a differently-designed paw-some tin.

Gourmet snack company The Golden Duck has teamed up with Singapore-based restaurant group Paradise this year, to launch two limited-edition fish skin snacks – Yu Sheng Fish Skin Crisps and Sweet and Sour Fish Skin Crisps.

The Yu Sheng Fish Skin Crisps are said to emulate the multi-layered taste of the yusheng dish, where the sweet and tangy note of the plum sauce, and a nutty aroma can be tasted in one bite. Meanwhile, the popular sweet and sour pork dish has been reimagined as a snack, and remaining true to its name, provides a perfect sweet-sour contrast thanks to the dried pineapple bits.

Priced at $8 each, both products can be purchased from leading supermarkets and Paradise Group’s stable of restaurants, while stocks last.
