Joel Koh●
Okay, I’m not even going to deny it. One of the things I’m looking forward to most during Chinese New Year (CNY) is CNY goodies.
Pineapple tarts, Bak Kwa, Love Letters, Kuih Bangkit, Hae Bee Hiam and Chinese New Year cookies; I’m getting hungry as I type this list down.
As much as I enjoy the mass-produced CNY goodies, nothing beats discovering and eating lovely homemade CNY goodies.
After all, homemade goodies are enriched with a personal touch, are generally healthier as they are free from preservatives and some are incredibly creative.
So if you want something special to serve your guests this CNY, here are 15 of the best homemade CNY goodies from home bakers and independent bakeries to consider!
If you’re afraid eating too much of these goodies are going to put a damper on your New Year’s Resolution to get in shape, here are some budget gyms to help you sweat some of that extra calories!
