Just gotten your BTO? This is the guide to your first CNY open house

Every time Chinese New Year rolls around, the to-do lists seem never-ending. And if you are a first-time house owner, it can get particularly overwhelming.

But fret not, we compiled the important things you need to know and prep for before welcoming the Year of the Snake with your friends and family. Deliveroo has everything you need for CNY within one handy app.

Adulting may not come with instructions, but at least you have this handy guide and Deliveroo!

Dishes you can't skip

According to tradition, food can symbolise a multitude of auspicious sayings - which is why it is important to make sure you have them at your open house.

Yu Sheng

Yu Sheng is a colourful salad made with raw fish, shredded vegetables and various condiments. It holds deep symbolic meaning for the festive season, as the dish symbolises prosperity and abundance. As such, it is an important staple for reunion dinners with friends and family.

No more queuing to collect your Yu Sheng before family reunion dinners - get Crystal Jade's Reunion Yu Sheng with Norwegian Salmon delivered right to your doorstep with Deliveroo.

Pineapple Tarts

Not only is this sweet treat addictive, it also symbolises incoming prosperity to make sure you make some bank this year.

Maximise your huat when you order your pineapple tarts (that are shaped like mini Mandarin oranges!) from The Lunar Rabbit Boulangerie, and remember to stock up in case that one friend who is obsessed over CNY goodies comes around.

Get 30 per cent off The Lunar Rabbit Boulangerie's full menu if you are a Deliveroo Plus member. Not yet a member? You still get 20 per cent off when you order through the app!

Bakkwa

Beyond its delicious smoky-sweet flavour, bakkwa holds symbolic significance as it is tied to prosperity and good fortune.

Commonly shared during the festive season, bakkwa also reflects a wish to share blessings with your loved ones, so why not get some from Bee Cheng Hiang to feed your loved ones?
