The adorable viral shark buns from IKEA have since swum away from our shores after a limited-time run, but don’t be too disappointed about that, for the furniture giant’s new food offerings for Chinese New Year 2022 include new tiger buns which are equally cute! Along with this comes aesthetically-pleasing confections including sakura-themed donuts, as well as mala-infused mains.

These will be available at IKEA Singapore from now all the way till 28 February 2022 (while stocks last), so you’ll have ample time to give them a try even if your 15 days of CNY are packed to the brim with staggered house visits.

P.S.: You'll also love these tiger-shaped pineapple tarts from a popular bakery in Singapore!

UPDATE: According to IKEA, there will be a slight delay with regards to these Little Tiger Buns due to their handmade nature, and they will only be available from 17 January onwards.

Furniture shopping can be pretty tiring, so fuel up after your expedition with IKEA’s fiery new mala dishes. The 6pcs Mala Chicken Wings ($10) look well-marinated, and the Plant Ball with Mala Spaghetti ($8) that’s suitable for vegetarians comes with a generous dollop of spicy sauce. Better have a drink ready just in case!
