In Singapore, we take delight in our local foods and snacks. What if our favourite foods could be turned into huggable plush toys to be our companions when we sleep, or make for cute and quirky home decor? Check out these food-theme plushies that are sure to take your collection to the next level.
Want Want Xiao Mantou
The Xiao Man Tou biscuit is a perennial favourite amongst many young adults, so what better way to relive your childhood days than with a Xiao Mantou biscuit cushion that’s 30 times the size of our original childhood favourite. What's more, the gift pack also comes with a variety of Want Want snacks!
Get it on Shopee for $19.76.
Boba Tea
A self-proclaimed bubble tea addict? Just can't get enough of bubble tea? Take your obsession to the next level with this bubble tea plushie ($22 - $45). It even comes in different designs and sizes!
Get it here on Shopee!
Pineapple Tart
Pineapple tarts might not be widely available all year round, but we sure can have a plush toy to help us tide through the cravings! (Or perhaps, make it even worse.) At least they don't have an expiry date and best still, zero calories!
Get it here for $26.32.
Love Letter
Another CNY favourite, this love letter plush toy is the perfect complement to your pineapple tart plushie. We think that this munchie can also double up as a baby bolster as well as a 'chou chou', so even the younglings can get it on it too.
Get it here for $21.52.
Wa Ko Kueh
You might also know these 'cupcakes' as 'huat kueh', but their traditional name is actually wa ko kueh, which means 'cake in bowl' in Hokkien. These pasar malam snacks have been recreated in plush toys forms and come in two pretty colours!
Get it here for $22.43 each.
Instant Noodles
Here's the plush toy you never knew you needed – it even comes with a noodles blanket to complete the package, and we think it makes for great snuggly TV sessions on the couch! Take your pick from four different designs.
Get it here for $17 each.
Grilled Chicken
We're venturing into the mildly weird category now – just imagine seeing a whole grilled chicken drumstick ($6 - $28) on your bed or couch. We totally dig how quirky it is, and it's sure to make a great conversation piece.
Choose from five different sizes here.
Baguette
Bread and carb lovers, you can now rest your head on a baguette pillow ($4.49 - $20.42) that's ultra realistic, and even comes in a slight sheen to make it look more like the real thing. Choose from three different sizes!
Get it here on Shopee.
Curry Puff
Another zero calorie version of a Singaporean-favourite snack, this curry puff plushie comes in two sizes and looks super comfy to hug!
Get the small one here and the large one here.
Otah
How about an otah cushion ($26.32) wrapped in pandan leaves and secured with toothpicks? This huggable cushion makes a great small bolster, as well as a gift for all the otah fans out there!
