In case you didn’t realise, it’s already less than a month until Lunar New Year and during this period, many people take the opportunity to have reunion dinner with their family and friends. Plus lots of additional feasting on those awesome snacks!
Most of us prefer to eat out during this period as it is easier and more convenient than cooking a whole nine course meal for 10 people or more. Many restaurants take this opportunity to cater for these reunions with delicious set menus but with so many options out there, we decided to narrow down a few choices for you. Welcome the Year of the Dog with Yee Sang and huat ah!
