Nothing like some simple, melt-in-your-mouth butter cookies to sweeten your day. These individually wrapped chocolate-flavoured ones are shaped like Hello Kitty’s face, and come in a purple square tin featuring the Sanrio character holding a tray of bakes. You’d definitely want to keep it after everything has been devoured!

Think of these as slices of French baguette, but in biscuit form. Baked instead of fried, these individually-wrapped munchies have a light, crispy, rusk-like consistency and a hint of fragrant butteriness.

#6: Hello Kitty Sun Cake Gold Ingot Gift Box with Porcelain Plate ($21.80)

Ah, the traditional Taiwanese sun cake, aka tai yang bing. According to Red Sakura, theirs are carefully handcrafted with a special method that prevents the crust from breaking easily, yet retains the flaky texture that we so love. Other than the kawaii packaging, this gift box set comes with a free plate that has the same festive design shown on the box!

These Red Sakura Hello Kitty Chinese New Year goodies were spotted at Prime supermarket, specifically the Century Square branch at Tampines. We dropped by one of the outlets at Yishun and didn’t find any, so they’re likely only stocked at selected locations. Let us know in the comments if you happen to spot any elsewhere!
