Harmony Cookies isn’t just a treat — it’s a taste of Singapore’s culture. Inspired by traditional pastries and the orchid, our national flower, each cookie has five petals that represent the different ethnic communities here. The name ‘Harmony’ reflects what makes Singapore special: our unity in diversity. From its look to its name, every part of the cookie shares a story of togetherness.

Cultures in Singapore & The flavours
Singapore is a vibrant tapestry of cultures, where Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Eurasian communities coexist harmoniously, each contributing to the nation's rich heritage.
Kaya is a beloved Singaporean spread with deep roots in the island’s heritage. Blending Peranakan traditions, its pandan-infused sweetness and rich notes of palm sugar (gula melaka) make it a breakfast staple. More than just a treat, kaya reflects Singapore’s rich history and evolving culinary identity.
The Malay Culture
Ondeh Ondeh Cookies were created from Malay culture, inspired by ondeh-ondeh, a snack beloved by everyone in Singapore. The mild green color of the cookies comes from teh pandan juice and palm sugar known as 'GUla Melaka' is used. This combination gives teh cookies the distinctive taste of the original ondeh-ondeh.
The Eurasian Culture
In Singapore, where traces of British tea culture remain, the scent of Earl Grey lingers in the air. The Eurasian community—rooted in both Europe and Asia—adds to the city’s diverse cultural fabric. As Lunar New Year approaches, mandarin oranges symbolise prosperity. In a quiet café, a barista brews a thoughtful blend: Earl Grey with orange peel, a nod to the subtle harmony of East and West.
The Indian Culture
Muruku Cookies are inspired by the traditional Indian snack, murukku, which enjoys popularity within the Indian culture. These cookies are savory, crunchy, and slightly spicy. While murukku is often serve during festive occasions and holidays like Diwali, it is commonly found all year round in Singapore.
The Chinese Culture
“Long Feng” means “Dragon and Phoenix” — a symbol of balance between male and female energies in Chinese culture. This cookie, made with green beans and almonds, is often served at weddings to represent unity. The soft mung bean paste contrasts with the crunch of almonds, while their gentle, nutty flavors come together in harmony. Even their colors and nutrients reflect the idea of two lives coming together as one.
From five cultures, one rhythm — Singapore thrives in harmony, where flavors, stories, and joys intertwine. In every meal and shared moment, we celebrate the beauty of coming together.
