Cookies, candies, chocolates are always on everyone's snack bar during Chinese New Year. Pineapples are a must as well because of the meaning of the Cantonese/Hokkien word - "wong lai" or "ong lai" (fortune comes). Besides, pineapples signify gold so in Hokkien and Malaysian-Cantonese homes, anything with pineapples - deco, cookies and the fruit itself - can be found. :) Sweets…you forgot that sweets are a must to ensure a good year ahead.

These steamed muffins are an indicator of your fortunes in the coming year. They are not supposed to collapse or remain flat. They must rise so much that the top splits open like a blossom, since to rise or "Fatt" is the same word as in Fatt Choy, to become wealthy. It was a nerve-wrecking 20 minute wait, but mine blossomed. phew. Happy Lunar New Year! A little late here, but there are 15 days to the Chinese New Year celebration. :)
