Chinese New Year Bazaar 2010

It's barely a week to CNY 2010. For most Singaporean, a visit to the goodies bazaar at Chinatown is a yearly event.

In recent years, most of the pastries are imported from Taiwan. They are packed in nicely decorated boxes or you are able to fill as mush as you can into a bag provided by the stall for a fixed price.

Melon seeds, not a favorite for a lazy guys like me.

I guess they are "roasted" into different flavors.


New Year cake or 年糕. Made from glutinous rice, it symbolize a much better year or 年年高升.


Something that I have not seen last year, chopsticks that bears your surname.

(if I have guessed correctly) Preserved pig...can't recall the correct term.

that's what left hanging on the top of the chopping board.

more melon seeds..most of the stalls do sell similar goodies.

and more new year cakes....the golden Chinese Character means prosperous.

Lion heads, used in lion dance...but the mini version.
