The Lunar New Year is a time of joy, tradition, and indulgence in flavorful dishes that symbolize prosperity, health, and happiness.
In Taiwan, this festive occasion is celebrated with unique customs and culinary delights. It’s also a perfect opportunity to elevate your celebrations with boba drinks that complement these iconic foods.
Whether you’re enjoying a feast with family or serving customers in your boba shop, this guide will help you pair popular boba flavors with traditional Taiwanese Lunar New Year dishes for a harmonious taste experience.
Dumplings symbolize wealth and prosperity, as their shape resembles ancient Chinese gold ingots. While dumplings are more common in northern Chinese culture, they are enjoyed in some Taiwanese households during Lunar New Year.
Classic Milk Tea with Tapioca Pearls
For pan-fried dumplings, try pairing with a roasted oolong milk tea for a smoky, toasty complement.
Nian Gao represents rising success and growth each year. In Taiwan, it’s often steamed or pan-fried and sometimes flavored with taro or sesame.
Add taro chunks or purple yam pearls to enhance the pairing’s visual and flavor appeal.
Spring rolls signify wealth and a fresh start, as they resemble gold bars. They are particularly popular in southern Taiwan during Lunar New Year.
Jasmine Green Tea with Lychee Jelly
A whole fish symbolizes abundance and surplus for the year ahead. This dish is a staple on Taiwanese Lunar New Year tables.
Add aloe vera or basil seeds for a refreshing textural component.
Long noodles represent a wish for long life and happiness. They are often served stir-fried or in soup in Taiwan.
Offer it with boba or grass jelly for added texture and a hint of sweetness to contrast the savory noodles.
Pineapple cakes are a Taiwanese specialty that symbolizes prosperity and good fortune due to the phonetic similarity of the Hokkien word for pineapple (“ōng lái”) to “prosperity comes.”
Matcha Latte with Red Bean Topping
Offer this pairing as a special Lunar New Year treat in your boba shop.
Mandarins represent good luck and prosperity due to their golden color and round shape. They are often exchanged as gifts in Taiwan.
