As Chinese New Year 2026 draws near, Old Chang Kee is once again bringing a touch of festive cheer to Singaporeans with its seasonal specialties. Known for turning familiar flavours into convenient, portable treats, the homegrown brand has prepared two exciting offerings for the Year of the Horse: the much-anticipated return of the Dendeng Bak Kwa Chicken’O with a refreshed recipe, and the debut of the Trio Nian Gao Spring’O, a dessert-style Spring’O perfect for sharing during reunion gatherings.
Both creations are available for a limited time from 2 February to 3 March 2026, offering locals a chance to enjoy traditional Chinese New Year flavours with a modern twist. These items are ideal for those who love festive snacking on the go, or for adding a special touch to a home reunion spread.
Dendeng Bak Kwa Chicken’O: A Savoury Favourite Returns
The Dendeng Bak Kwa Chicken’O has been a fan favourite since its initial launch in 2022. This year, Old Chang Kee has taken it a step further with a refreshed filling designed to balance sweet, savoury, and subtly spicy flavours. At the core of the puff is a combination of BBQ dendeng chicken bak kwa, water chestnut, sweet corn, carrot, and spring onion. The mix is lightly seasoned with chilli and black pepper, providing a gentle kick without overwhelming the palate.
Texture is key to this festive treat. The water chestnuts and vegetables add crunch that contrasts beautifully with the tender, smoky chicken, while the crisp golden pastry encasing the filling delivers that satisfying bite that fans have come to expect.
What sets the Dendeng Bak Kwa Chicken’O apart from a typical puff is the symbolic nod to Chinese New Year. Water chestnut, known as 马蹄 in Mandarin, carries a subtle connection to the horse zodiac, reflecting qualities such as strength, good fortune, and progress. This thoughtful detail makes each puff more than just a snack—it is a tiny celebratory token of auspiciousness.
Further enhancing its festive appeal, each Dendeng Bak Kwa Chicken’O is stamped with one of four Chinese characters: 兴 (prosperity), 旺 (thriving), 发 (growth), or 财 (wealth). These characters turn each puff into a small edible blessing, adding a playful and meaningful touch to the snacking experience.
Priced at $3 per piece, this limited-edition puff is available at all Old Chang Kee outlets islandwide. For added convenience, it can also be ordered through delivery platforms such as GrabFood, Deliveroo, and Foodpanda, allowing everyone to enjoy this festive treat even during busy celebrations. Halal-certified, it ensures inclusivity for family and friends who want to share in the season’s joy.
Trio Nian Gao Spring’O: A Sweet Debut
Alongside the savoury offering, Old Chang Kee introduces a dessert-style Spring’O that is set to be the star of reunion tables: the Trio Nian Gao Spring’O. Developed specifically for Chinese New Year, it combines three classic festive ingredients—sticky rice nian gao, yam, and sweet potato—into a delicate spring roll shell that crisps beautifully when fried.
The appeal of the Trio Nian Gao Spring’O lies in its layered textures and naturally sweet flavours. The exterior crunch gives way to a soft, chewy, and subtly sweet centre, creating a delightful contrast that appeals to both young and mature palates. Visually, the three layers are distinct and inviting, making the Spring’O not only delicious but also a feast for the eyes.
Symbolically, this sweet treat embodies harmony, abundance, and sweetness—qualities that many hope to carry into the new year. Priced at $2.30 per piece, the Trio Nian Gao Spring’O is also available at all Old Chang Kee outlets and on delivery platforms, though daily stock may be limited.
Why These Festive Specials Are Worth It
The Dendeng Bak Kwa Chicken’O and Trio Nian Gao Spring’O are not merely seasonal snacks—they are an experience. The combination of nostalgic flavours and thoughtful details, such as auspicious stamps and zodiac-inspired ingredients, makes these treats more meaningful than the typical Lunar New Year fare.
For those who enjoy the ritual of festive food, these offerings provide a convenient yet special way to celebrate without spending hours in the kitchen. They are ideal for sharing during family gatherings, gifting to friends and colleagues, or even enjoying as a personal treat while soaking in the festive atmosphere around Singapore.
Moreover, the availability across all outlets and on delivery platforms ensures that everyone can participate in the celebrations, even if they have a hectic schedule during this busy period. The price points of $3 for the Dendeng Bak Kwa Chicken’O and $2.30 for the Trio Nian Gao Spring’O make these items affordable indulgences—an accessible way to enjoy something festive without breaking the bank.
Islandwide Availability Makes It Easy to Celebrate
Old Chang Kee has long been celebrated for its accessibility, and this Chinese New Year is no exception. Both the Dendeng Bak Kwa Chicken’O and the Trio Nian Gao Spring’O are available at all outlets across Singapore, making it easy to pick up a few pieces while running errands, heading to a reunion dinner, or simply treating oneself. Delivery options further extend the reach, allowing those working or celebrating from home to join in the festivities without missing out.
By combining traditional flavours, playful innovations, and symbolic touches, Old Chang Kee continues to provide a meaningful and enjoyable way to celebrate Chinese New Year. Whether it’s the savoury, smoky richness of the Dendeng Bak Kwa Chicken’O or the sweet, layered delight of the Trio Nian Gao Spring’O, each bite carries a sense of festivity and a nod to Singapore’s culinary creativity.
For food enthusiasts and festival-goers, this is a chance to enjoy limited-time flavours that cannot be found year-round. For families, the snacks add variety to reunion meals without complicating preparations. And for anyone simply in search of a delicious way to mark the season, these items hit the sweet spot between convenience, flavour, and festive symbolism.
In short, Old Chang Kee has delivered once again with offerings that are both familiar and novel. The Dendeng Bak Kwa Chicken’O and Trio Nian Gao Spring’O are more than just snacks—they are little celebrations in themselves, perfect for sharing, gifting, and enjoying as part of the Year of the Horse festivities. With prices that are reasonable, flavours that are thoughtfully crafted, and availability that is islandwide, there’s every reason to head out or place a delivery order to get a taste of this festive cheer.
