A Guide to Your Last Minute Chinese New Year Shopping



Share with other Parents or Go Back

Chinese New Year will soon be upon us and families are probably in the midst of preparation and shopping. Come check out these places we have picked just for you!

If you don’t already know, CNY goodies and early bird specials appear as early as November – good news for those who plan and place orders in advance. For those who prefer to work a little closer to the festivity, it is still worth doing a stock take of your storage, compare unit prices versus bulk purchase and note expiry dates of products before you hit the shops. 

For sure, CNY shopping does not have to mean crowded malls. If you are a savvy and adventurous family like ours, check out our pocket list of to-go places, not only in Singapore but also across the causeway!

Bee Cheng Hiang must be one of everyone’s perennial favourites, and their CNY specials are highly anticipated. Besides the convenience of pre-orders for home delivery and popular products such as bak kwa value packs, seasonal new flavours, festive hampers and other snacks, their factory sale is one of our CNY must-go! 

This year’s factory sale is on till 15 February at two locations so make your trip soon. Also check out their Bee Cheng Hiang app to help make your shopping easier.

Besides being another familiar bak kwa brand boasting an equally strong lineup of festive goodies, we are quite taken with their Disney-themed bak kwa and exclusive merchandise set, as well as no-fuss reunion dishes that require just heating up to serve – these are available online so remember to check them out alongside your trip to their factory!

3. Hosen

Venue: 267 Pandan Loop, Singapore 128439
Date: Now till 16 February, 9am-6pm daily

If you have not already gotten what you need from your nearest supermarket, Hosen’s warehouse sale is definitely worth a stopover to sweep their family favourites. Their variety of canned seafood (love their abalone and clam assortment!) and fruits make hosting meals easier as we mix and match fresh produce with provisions that last slightly longer. 

4. Lim Siang Huat Frozen Food

Venue: 6 Fishery Port Rd, #02-M, Singapore 619747
Find out more: Online grocer | CNY 2026 specials

If you haven’t heard of this frozen food retailer, it’s been in Singapore since 1940. What we like about them is their huge assortment of products across baking needs, beverages, frozen foods and other groceries – even F&B owners support them! And we can see why, given their variety, prices and online order options of delivery or self-collection! Remember to check them out for steamboat-friendly items as well as Yu Sheng sets.

5. Pasir Panjang Wholesale Centre

Their CNY collections boast mahjong-themed handmade goodies, roast meat, dim sum and steamboat essentials. Have your online orders delivered to your home or opt for self pick-up!   

7. Tai Sun

Another must-have snack brand to munch on when hosting or house visiting, where else better to stock up on their nuts, chips and festive goodies than their warehouse at Pandan Loop? Their warehouse sale runs till 13 February, and resumes on 20 February if you haven’t had enough for CNY.
