Do you still remember your favourite childhood snacks? Missed munching on those snacks?
Remember always running to the shops to buy these snacks after school, and saving up for the whole week just to get these snacks to eat while you play at the playground. Why not, let’s revisit our childhood days and take a walk down the memory lane together.- Kacang Puteh
Kacang Puteh is an assortment of nuts that makes you go nuts over it. Get it? With all the nuts that come together, it makes up a good colourful concoction and is usually served in a paper cone with 6 different types of nuts and crackers. In the past, it was commonly seen on the streets and in the cinemas for people to munch on while watching their movie. It was one of the most well-known and well-loved snacks by many Singaporeans.
2. Muah Chee
Muah Chee is a glutinous rice snack coated with sesame seeds or peanuts and is known as Singapore’s favorite street snack. With its doughy yet chewy texture, as well as the crunchiness of the peanuts, it forms a toothsome bite that makes you want to continue eating more.
3. Ding Ding Candy
Did you know?
Ding Ding Candy got its name from the sound of its production process? ” Ding Ding ” was the sound produced when the candy maker breaks up the candies. Ding Ding Candy was first originated in Hong Kong and then it starts to spread to the rest of the world. It is a hard maltose candy flavored with ginger and sesame.
4. Dragon Beard Candy
Dragon Beard Candy is a form of traditional art that originated in China. It is also known as ‘Chinese cotton candy’ and is often found on the streets in the olden days. It is made up of hardened sugar that is pulled into thin, individual strands of candy that will melt in one’s mouth.
5. Tutu Kueh
Tutu Kueh or Kueh Tutu is a small fine-looking soft steamed rice cake flavored with shredded coconut or peanuts or even red bean nowadays! The cool thing about it is that it was created by our fellow Singaporean who created the recipe based on his memories and to now, it is still one of Singaporean’s favorite snacks.

At Partypeople, we’ve seen firsthand how the right food can transform an ordinary celebration into an unforgettable experience. When guests bite into a warm ondeh-ondeh bursting with gula melaka, or hear the familiar bell of an ice cream uncle, something magical happens. Conversations flow more easily, laughter comes quicker, and strangers become friends as they swap stories about their favourite hawker stalls and pasar malam treats. That’s the power of traditional food that brings you back to your childhood Singapore parties simply cannot replicate with modern catering alone.
Planning a nostalgia-themed party requires more than just ordering kueh from the nearest bakery. The presentation matters just as much as the food itself. Picture your guests arriving to a setup featuring vintage tingkat carriers, traditional kopitiam-style marble tables, and old-school enamel plates. Pair these with classic snacks like muruku, kueh lapis, tau sar piah, and freshly steamed chwee kueh, and you’ve created an atmosphere that engages all five senses. For corporate events or large-scale gatherings, partnering with a professional Event Management team ensures every detail comes together seamlessly, from food stations to themed décor.
Some of our most popular childhood-themed party setups include live kacang putih cones, traditional ice ball stations with rose syrup and gula melaka, and DIY kaya toast bars where guests assemble their own breakfast favourites. We also love incorporating interactive elements like five stones, chapteh, and old-school games alongside the food, creating immersive experiences that resonate with both older guests and curious younger ones. These touches turn a simple party into a cultural celebration that honours our shared Singaporean heritage. Whether you’re organising a birthday, anniversary, family day, or company D&D, blending traditional flavours with thoughtful party styling creates memories that last long after the last piece of ang ku kueh is gone.
