Going Nuts... the New Year

Keeping in mind health factor when choosing Chinese New Year's goodies and tidbits, my family relied heavily on dried fruits and nuts. They are healthier snacks, and have much longer storage life than traditionally baked/ fried new year cookies.

Here are 2 of my family favourites to share with you ;)

Camel Natural Pistachio and Roasted Cashew, 400g ($9.10 each)

We always have Camel's Red Pistachio! Red Pistachio offers a more superior taste to the standard Green Pistachio. Splurging a little more for the seasonal indulgence well deserves...

Nature's Wonder Fruits & Nuts Fusion, 620g ($11.60)

This year new try is from the Tai Sun Nature's Wonder series. The bottle contains Cashew Kernels, Almonds, Pistachio Kernels, Roasted Grams, Golden Raisin and Sun Dried Figs. What impress would be the Almonds, Raisins and the Figs but gradually you would enjoy the nuts altogether ;)

Am totally bowl over by their Sun dried Figs!!! Compared to what we used to get from the wholesales stores, these are hygienically dried, sweet and compact. You can't deny they are some of the better quality Figs around; you wouldn't mind paying the extras at all.
