Just in case you didn’t know: Chinese New Year falls on February 1 this year—which is just a few days away! During this festival, tikoy is always present as this is believed to attract prosperity and good luck—and this glutinous rice cake’s sticky consistency symbolizes a strong familial bond.
If you want a box of tikoy for the upcoming Chinese New Year or buy one for your friends and relatives, here are places that can deliver to your doorstep:
Eng Bee Tin
The Chinese deli shop has long been known for its Chinese delicacies like tikoy. This Year of the Tiger, they launched a new flavor called Peanut Sesame Tikoy that has ground roast peanuts and sesame that makes the regular tikoy become deliciously nutty.
How to order: Eng Bee Tin’s selection of tikoy is available via Ube Delivery.
Ho-Land Hopia
Ho-Land is another famous brand that’s known to offer different Chinese delicacies, including tikoy in different flavors. They have this in White (plain), Pandan, Brown (chocolate), and Ube. These are on the more affordable side as the regular box only costs P160 and the bigger version (weighing 1.5 kilograms) only costs P220.Â
How to order:Â Ho-Land Hopia items are available via their online website.
Polland
Polland, not to be confused with Ho-land Hopia, also has different flavors of tikoy: White (plain), Ube, and Brown (chocolate), and they even have fruity flavors like Strawberry and Pineapple if you’re feeling adventurous. These tikoy flavors only cost P125 for a small box and P200 for a medium box.
They also have a Heart-Shaped Tikoy (P100) you can give someone you love, plus Polland also has a Gold Bar-Shaped (or ingot) Tikoy (P125) if you want to attract more money this year. Who wouldn’t want that—or both?
