Chinese New Year Egg Rolls

Egg Rolls Traditional Love Letters (Large)

Egg Rolls Traditional Love Letters is a traditional snack for Lunar New Year from Malaysia.  These aromatic and crispy egg rolls are ultra thin. This item is fragile and will be bubble wrapped for transport. We are unable to guarantee that the egg rolls will not be broken during transit, but it will still taste as good!

Before it became everyone’s Chinese New Year staple, these delicate wafers used to hold the secret love letters of love-struck Peranakan girls.

Once upon a time before phones and texting existed, Peranakan girls who didn’t have a chaperone were forbidden from meeting boys their age and the girls got creative and hid romantic messages in the delicate folds of handmade kuih kapit.

It is a stealthy way for  love letters to be delivered in the old day.
