Many countries in the world share and practice Chinese tradition in their own homes. One of the most awaited events of the year in the Lunar calendar is the Chinese New Year. Many Singaporeans celebrate CNY with families and friends. It is a perfect time to catch up and bond with your loved ones.
To make the CNY unforgettable, here are the Chinese New Year Must-Haves you should prepare.
1. New Year Cake
The traditional new year cake or Nian Gao is made up of sticky glutinous rice flour that may have a sweet or savoury flavour. It is one of the Chinese new year snacks Singaporeans love! Every country has its own variants of this sticky rice cake. Basically, these sticky CNY snacks invite prosperity in business and life.
2. Round and Golden Fruits
Preparing and eating round and golden fruit like tangerines and oranges invite luck and fortune for the new year ahead. Eating round and golden fruits may bring you wealth and prosperity in the coming year. If you want some money luck this year, might as well prepare these Chinese New Year goodies on your table.
3. Chinese New Year Snacks
Aside from preparing food for good luck, it is also fun to put some little Chinese New Year snacks! Sweet and savoury CNY snacks and finger food like pineapple tarts and abalones are popular in Singapore. Not just it adds a wide variety of flavours to the table, but also a good company while catching up with friends and family! Who doesn't want a delicious abalone in Singapore while talking about your sister's love life?
4. Red Envelopes
Of course, we don't want to hoard all the luck we can get for the new year. We also need to share. Traditionally, elderlies prepare red envelopes with cash inside as the 'lucky money' to give to the children.
5. CNY Greeting Cards
It may be outdated to give greeting cards to friends and relatives when we have the internet, but it is still sweet to receive words of blessings, encouragement and good luck in a card.
