Here are 6 local establishments and home cooks that are ready to serve you all the yummy dishes before you can even finish saying Gong Xi Fa Cai!

RC Deaf Missions Malaysia was founded to provide an avenue for the deaf community to be employed, with the sole aim of enhancing their livelihood and giving them the opportunity to earn a sustainable income. This Chinese New Year, their staff are keeping up the holiday spirit by making an array of baked goods for you and your loved ones to enjoy.
From the classic Pineapple Balls and Chinese Walnut Cookies, to the unique “Pak Tor” (Dates) Walnut Cake and Oriental Red Bean Mochi Cake (a chewy delicacy with a satisfying crunch, thanks to the kuaci seeds), the folks at RC Deaf Missions Malaysia are putting their own twist to these sweet Lunar New Year treats. If that’s not enough to tempt you, try their Orange Cranberry Cake and Muffins or the Cashew Nut Cookies.
