CNY cookies and their significance
In just a few days’ time, it’ll be Chinese New Year, ringing in the Year of the Dragon.

With it, you can expect to feast on myriad cookies in the homes of friends and relatives.

At the end of the day, you’d probably find yourself so full of cookies and Mandarin oranges that you won’t be able to eat any real food after that!

What’s interesting is that so many types of cookies have crossed over our different cultures in Malaysia that it’s sometimes hard to tell which ones belong to which festivals.

The thing is, a lot of CNY cookies and food isn’t just about being nice to eat; many carry a deeper meaning and significance.

And quite often, a lot of it has to do with achieving wealth! Here’s a quick list of what you can expect. — Compiled by PATSY KAM
