Cedele has a lineup of old favourites as well as some must-try creations.

Shower your family and friends with cookies and cakes to traditional Chinese New Year roast meats from Cedele. This year, there is a choice of 14 cookie flavours from classic best sellers to new combinations, 12 types of cakes from local to Western influence, and finally, savoury dishes from its own version of yu sheng to roast platters of siew yok (pork belly) and char siew (roast pork). All are in keeping to the company’s belief in real whole food ingredients and its attention to customers with dietary preferences.

For the cookies lineup, the classic best seller Pineapple Pocket Pie (S$23) as well as popular flavours like Chocolate Chip Macadamia (S$22), Almond Crunch (S$20) and Cranberry Almond Oatmeal (S$19) are all back.
