Tiger Kaya Buns, Chocolate Koi, And More Lunar New Year Limited Edition Offerings We’re Dying To Try
Ah, CNY. That time of the year when we collectively abandon our New Year’s resolution to eat healthier and lose weight. While we traditionally associate the season with bak kwa, yu sheng, and pineapple tarts, nowadays, every other F&B company – be it a fast-food restaurant or a café – is releasing exciting seasonal menus and specials to commemorate the holiday.
Here are some goodies that we’re just dying to try:
Janice Wong’s Chocolate Koi and Chocolate Coated Pineapple Tarts
Janice Wong’s pastry designs are a work of art, so if you’d like to impress your family and friends with some atas-looking offerings, this is the way to go. Despite its name, the hand-painted Chocolate Koi (pictured at the top) contains so much more than just chocolate – one bite, and you’ll encounter layers of crispy praline feuilletine and popping candy.
Chocolate Koi, $48 for a set of three
Chocolate Coated Pineapple Tart, $35 for a jar
Luke’s Lobster x Park Bench Deli: PBD XO Smoked Duck Lobster Roll
Last month, Luke’s Lobster Singapore unveiled its first exclusive collaborative rolls with a limited edition Sambal Achar Lobster Roll by Annette Tan of FatFuku and PBD XO Smoked Duck Lobster Roll by Park Bench Deli. We’re happy to report that the latter’s run has been extended until 15 February, so if you’ve ever wondered what an Asian-inspired lobster roll tastes like, now’s your chance.
PBD XO Smoked Duck Lobster Roll, $30.50
Available across all outlets and with island-wide deliveries
IKEA’s Lunar New Year Menu
IKEA’s seasonal menu, available until 28 February, features a whole slew of festive offerings, including Mala Pork Ribs and Vegetable Money Bag With Golden Fried Rice ($13.8), along with adorable pastries, such as the Tiger Kaya Buns ($2 per piece) and CNY donuts ($7.80 per donut).

Texas Chicken’s Hae Bee Hiam Chicken
As if fried chicken weren’t indulgent enough, Texas Chicken has brought back their limited edition Hae Bee Hiam chicken, which is bold, savoury, spicy, and chock full of CNY calories. Order it with a Golden Floss Wrap for maximum sinfulness.

Butter Bean Singapore’s O’Creamy Toast
CNY wouldn’t be complete without oranges, but let’s face it, by the time the season is over, we’re all pretty tired of eating them straight from the box (or from the pile on our parents’ dining room table).
Head on over to Butter Bean for another way to enjoy them!

Da Paolo Gastronomia’s Tiger Bread
It’s not every day that we get an Italian take on Lunar New Year food, so our mouths started watering at the sight of Da Paolo Gastronomia’s Tiger Bread, a sourdough version of Asian milk bread. The blonde dough is lightly flavoured with mandarin orange and saffron, while the chocolate stripes are infused with dark cocoa dough.
Tiger Bread ($8.80), available until 31 January 2022 on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays
McDonald’s Prosperity Feast
What’s Lunar New Year without the McDonald’s Prosperity Feast? This year sees the return of the Prosperity Chicken Burger, the Prosperity Beef Burger, Prosperity Twister Fries, Peace McFizz, and the debut of the Strawberry Pie.
Prices start from $1.80. Find out more here
