Chinese New Year 2027 falls on Saturday 6 February, and the celebrations run for 15 days to Chap Goh Mei on Saturday 20 February. Every year the same question reaches us: can the CNY food be halal, so every colleague, client and neighbour can eat from the same table? Ours is. We are UNiQ Catering in Puchong, and we have cooked halal Chinese and Nyonya food since 1999.
Why a halal menu matters for Chinese New Year
A CNY lunch at the office or an open house at home brings together people of every background. With a halal-certified caterer, your Muslim guests can eat from the same buffet line as everyone else, and nobody has to ask what is in the dish. That is what a reunion meal is for.
How to check a halal caterer: search the company name in JAKIM's Halal Malaysia directory. We are listed as Citarasa Uniq Sdn Bhd, Puchong, with our certificate valid until 31 October 2027. A "no pork, no lard" label is not the same thing, and this guide explains the difference.
Our story: from full moon gift boxes to the MCA Chinese New Year celebration
UNiQ was founded in August 1999 by Madam Goh Siew Kim and Ms Doreen Wong, working from home. Our first customers came by word of mouth, for Nyonya-style baby full moon packs with ang ku kuih, nasi kunyit and curry chicken.
- 1999: UNiQ starts from home in Puchong with halal full moon packs.
- 2003: we open full moon shops in Klang and Seremban.
- 2005: our own restaurant in Bandar Puchong Jaya, and a production centre in Puchong.
- 2010: JAKIM certifies us as a halal caterer.
- 2020: our central kitchen earns HACCP certification.
- February 2026: we cater the Malaysian Chinese Association's Chinese New Year celebration, attended by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
Today we cook more than 3,000 halal meals a day from our kitchen in Puchong, and our record is 6,000 packed meals in a single day.
Three ways to serve a halal CNY meal
- Buffet, from 50 pax: the easiest choice for office lunches and open houses. Our Spring Harvest buffet is our festive Chinese-style menu, and the Auspicious Delight buffet adds braised duck, seabass tiga rasa and prawns with oats.
- Dome set, from 300 pax: each table of 10 gets its dishes under stainless steel domes, so the food stays hot and the room looks neat. See our Muhibbah Chinese dome set.
- Chinese sit-down banquet, from 300 pax: served course by course at the table, for annual dinners and big CNY functions. Choose our 8-course dinner, a 7-course dinner, or a vegetarian Chinese banquet.
Lucky dishes on our CNY buffet
Our Spring Harvest buffet is built around dishes Chinese families look for at New Year:
- Fish tiga rasa: a whole fish dish, because fish stands for abundance in the year ahead.
- Money bags with Thai dipping sauce: little parcels shaped like purses, for wealth.
- Loh hon chai: the classic mixed vegetable stew, a New Year favourite.
- Auspicious beancurd, ayam pong teh and kong poh squid, with ee foo noodles and baked rice.
- Signature lamb curry or duck rendang, your choice, so the spread still feels Malaysian.
- Nyonya kuih, blueberry egg tarts and orange cake to finish.
