Get ready to snack your way through CNY 2026! We’re diving into the vibrant world of Singapore’s festive treats, featuring our top 12 must-haves — from crispy love letters to melt-in-your-mouth cookies. Celebrate tradition with every bite and bring on the prosperity. Happy Lunar New Year — let the feast begin!
1. Ding Bakery
CNYGoodies.sg (Ding Bakery) may be famous for their award-winning, #1-voted pineapple tarts, but their huge range of festive snacks truly sets them apart! This highly trusted brand, backed by over 2,000 five-star reviews, uses premium imported ingredients and insists on freshly handmade quality — everything is baked just 2 days before delivery with zero preservatives.
We rate them above the competition because their Award-Winning Variety includes perfected classics and new flavours that truly excite the palate.
First on my must-try list is the Melt in Your Mouth Kueh Bangkit. It’s almost impossible to describe how these feather-light, fragrant cookies dissolve on your tongue, leaving behind an incredibly addictive, lingering coconut sweetness. For a deeper, caramelised flavour, try its cousin, the Gula Melaka Kueh Bangkit .
If you love pure butter richness, their Imperial Reserve Butter Cookies (S$17.33, U.P.: S$34.66) are anything but basic. This is an elevated version of the childhood classic, just made especially buttery, rich and utterly fragrant — I give in to their crumbly goodness every year! And for something truly crunchy, the Crispy Kuih Bahulu (S$16.24, U.P.: S$34.48) will transport you back to traditional festive memories.
Ding Bakery’s CNY snacks sell out every single year and their prices will increase. To avoid disappointment and stock up on these handcrafted delights, secure your order now during the Up to 50% OFF Early-Bird Sale and grab the EXTRA 8% OFF bundle deals!

2. Pineapple Tarts Singapore
Their name might suggest they only do one thing but Pineapple Tarts Singapore is actually a treasure trove of award-winning CNY festive snacks. This local bakery brand takes “traditional” seriously — each of their products is 100% homemade and handmade with absolutely no preservatives. They bake in limited batches to ensure that every jar you open is freshly baked and of the highest standard.
Naturally, the headline act is their signature Melt In Your Mouth – Pineapple Tarts 黄梨塔, 24 pieces – 460g (S$24.90, U.P.: S$49.80). Using a time-tested generational recipe, these are arguably the gold standard for buttery pastry and perfectly balanced sweet-sour filling.
But if I had to pick a favourite from their non-tart CNY goodies range, it would have to be the Snow White – Kueh Bangkit 薯粉饼, 170g (S$15.90, U.P.: S$31.80). The name is perfectly fitting; the texture is magical, with each heavenly piece simply dissolving on your tongue to release a fragrant coconut aroma. It’s pure nostalgia in a bite!
For those who prefer a satisfying crunch over the melt-in-your-mouth experience, go for the Xing Fu – Premium Almond Cookies 杏仁饼干, 260g (S$15.90, U.P.: S$35.80). These are not your average cookies; they are packed with premium nutty goodness, offering an aromatic, wholesome bite that feels incredibly indulgent.
The Velvety – Premium Melt In Your Mouth French Butter Cookies 法式牛油曲奇, 350g (S$15.90, U.P.: S$35.80) are a masterclass in delicate baking. Crafted using top-tier premium French butter and baked to a perfect golden finish, these cookies live up to their name with a texture so fine that they literally dissolve on the tongue. They are designed for ultimate indulgence, offering a rich, buttery fragrance that is satisfyingly decadent without being overly sweet.
Because Pineapple Tarts Singapore prioritises quality over quantity, their limited batches tend to run out early. We highly recommend browsing their site now to secure these homemade CNY snacks before the festive rush wipes them out! Remember, you get FREE delivery for purchases over S$100.

3. Wang Lai Bakery
While their reputation is built on CNY pineapple tarts, their expertise extends to a full range of addictive snacks. The headliner is, of course, Grandma’s Melt in Your Mouth Pineapple Tarts, ~500g (S$18.90, U.P.: S$39.80). These are the definition of an “OG” snack, all buttery, crumbly and filled with a paste that strikes the perfect balance between sweet and tangy.
Since 1968, the family behind Wang Lai Bakery has toiled to preserve the art of authentic handmade CNY goodies. For 4 generations, they have stayed true to traditional recipes and refused to compromise by using automated machines. The result is award-winning, nostalgic snacks that don’t dent your wallet — their festive pricing remains incredibly wallet-friendly.
If you crave a savoury crunch, their Premium Prawn Rolls, 330g (S$14.90, U.P.: S$31.80) are the CNY snack to get. Perfectly fried to a golden crisp, they pack a spicy, umami punch that makes it impossible to stop at just one.
For a gentler, sweeter finish, you must try Grandma’s Melt in Your Mouth Almond Cookies, 260g (S$14.90, U.P.: S$31.80). The name doesn’t lie; the rich nutty aroma and delicate texture make these a soothing, melt-away treat that guests of all ages will adore.

4. Kwan Pastry
Almost 20 years ago, a small home-based bakery known for its Chinese New Year snacks took the leap and set up a humble little shop in City Plaza. Today, Kwan Pastry has blossomed into a cherished Singaporean bakery famous for its CNY delights that sell out every festive season.
Kwan Pastry has long been known for honouring heritage while creatively reimagining classics in ways that resonate with today’s customers. Their ‘crown jewel’ is undoubtedly the Sakura-Shaped Pineapple Tart (S$24 for 28 tarts, S$29 for 40 tarts), a signature design perfected over the past two decades. These tarts are as much a visual delight as they are a culinary one; the buttery, aromatic crust melts effortlessly to reveal a tangy, luscious pineapple filling. Shaped like a cherry blossom, they serve as a stunning centrepiece that symbolises prosperity and new beginnings.

These light and crumbly floral-shaped CNY snacks are generously topped with toasted almond slices. Vegetarian-friendly and intentionally less sweet, they are as close you can get to a guilt-free CNY snacking addiction.
