KumquatsKumquats are sweet and juicy. However, it is advised that those with weaker constitution should avoid or consume less kumquats.
Fruit Mochi
Muah CheeA wide variety of mochi (or muah chee) are available during CNY. Besides these fruit mochi which come in boxes, there are also stalls selling muah chee which you can pick and mix @ ~SGD1.50 per 100 grams.
Snacks and Food HampersAt supermarkets, you can see many different snacks (candies, cookies, etc) and food hampers piling on shelves!
3. Home Decoration (住)

This reminds me. I need some decorations to brighten up my place. This year we are going on minimalist approach, not probably will not stock up much goodies. I think a trip to Chinatown is in the works for me.
Happy Chinese new year to you and yours!!
