As we gallop into the Year of the Horse, the search for the perfect reunion meal often leads us to expensive banquet halls and crowded restaurants. But sometimes, the most heartwarming meals are the simplest ones. If you are looking for a hidden gem that serves up authentic, handmade comfort food without the festive price hike, Jia He Xing at Marina Square is the spot you need to know.

Located on Level 3, this cozy dumpling house has been quietly winning over the hearts (and stomachs) of foodies with its freshly boiled dumplings and Beijing-style noodles. Here is why you should skip the fancy reservations and head here for a "wealth-filled" meal this January 2026.

The Star of the Table: Auspicious Rainbow Dumplings

You cannot visit Jia He Xing without ordering their signature Rainbow Dumplings (Whole Family Bliss). In Chinese culture, dumplings (jiao zi) symbolize wealth because their shape resembles ancient gold ingots. Jia He Xing takes this to the next level with a colorful platter that is as beautiful as it is delicious.

Perfect for the 'Gram and your palate, these natural vegetable-juice colored skins wrap around unique fillings, making every bite a surprise:

• Purple: Pork & Chinese Cabbage (The classic comforter)
• Green: Pork & Chives (Aromatic and savory)
• Orange: Pork & Mushroom (Earthy and rich)
• Pink: Fresh Shrimp (Sweet and bouncy)
• White: The traditional favorite

Priced affordably (around $15.48 for 12 pieces), it is a dish that screams "Harmony and Prosperity" (Full House Bliss), making it the ultimate budget-friendly dish to toss to a lucky new year.

Beyond the Ordinary: Unique Fillings You Must Try

If you think you know dumplings, think again. Jia He Xing offers fillings that are rare to find in Singapore.

• Salted Egg Yolk & Prawn: A modern twist on a traditional favorite. The savory grit of the salted egg pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the prawn—it’s an explosion of umami!
• Spanish Mackerel Dumplings: A delicacy in Northern China, these fish dumplings are surprisingly light, tender, and incredibly fresh.
• Fish Roe Delicacies: For those who love texture, the popping sensation of the fish roe adds a fun element to the savory meat filling.

Slurp Your Way to Long Life: Beijing Zha Jiang Mian

No Lunar New Year meal is complete without noodles (symbolizing longevity). Their Beijing Speciality Zha Jiang Mian is the real deal.

• The Sauce: A rich, dark soybean paste fermented with minced meat that coats every strand of the handmade noodles.
• The Sides: Served with julienned cucumbers and carrots for a refreshing crunch that cuts through the richness.

For those who prefer a spicy kick to wake up the senses for 2026, their Sichuan Spicy Wontons (Red Oil Chao Shou)offers the perfect balance of numbing peppercorn and vinegar tang.
