As someone who has literally just completed her huat pals collection at the wee hours of the morning today, I’m here as the beacon of hope that eventually finding Bao Bao is possible. While there’s no sure way to make it show up, my strategy involved topping up a lot of money into my ShopeePay that I am now unsure what to do with.
Anyhow, there is one way that you can add Bao Bao to your collection for certain, albeit your earring collection if you’re happy with that alternative. This Instagram craft store, Shuark.co, sells handmade huat pals earrings so that you can tell everyone you’re on the hunt without telling them you’re on the hunt.
Bao Bao (Panda)
The true ‘baobao’ that most Singaporeans are looking for this festive season, Panda comes as a highly-sought-after visitor, befitting as a nod to Jia Jia and Kai Kai’s little one, Le Le.
Mala (Hotpot)
A Lunar New Year icon in itself, the bubbling hotpot makes its annual appearance in households far and wide.
BB Loh (XLB)
Though I’m quite certain that BB Loh is meant to be a plate of yusheng rather than a xiao long bao, this take on the little cutie still stands as an adorable favourite. While BB Loh was the elusive one last year, he’s decided to make a more frequent appearance this year, it seems.
Ah Lai (Ong Lai)
Believed to bring good luck, pineapples are rollin’ into the season bearing gifts.
Reddy (Red Lantern)
The most commonly-occurring of the lot, reddy continually evolves and shape shifts, true to the paper folding technique he’s modelled after.
Earrings sold individually
The prices for the earrings are for one, so if you’d like a pair, double your basket before checking out. This is also a good opportunity to mix and match your favourite huat pals, and show them off the next time GooglePay Huat Pals season comes around.
