Dumplings
Doesn’t matter whether it’s steamed or fried: as long as you have dumplings, you’ll huat simply because it looks like ingots—which is a currency long, long ago in China.

Fish
Because年年有余(鱼)! Yeah, honestly, that’s the reason why. You’ll be debt-free and have so many surpluses that you don’t know what to spend on. Just make sure the fish is served in full.

Rice cake
Once again, it’s due to its name: 年糕. It means that you’ll achieve greater heights this year. Corny, I know, but it tastes good too, so who cares?

Spring rolls
We have this even when it’s not Chinese New Year, eh? Just like dumplings, it resembles a gold bar, so having it means having lots of gold bars.
