Frequently Asked Questions
What are the must-have traditional dishes at a CNY reunion dinner?
A traditional reunion dinner includes yusheng (a toss salad to represent prosperity), a whole steamed fish that symbolises surplus for the new year, and a rich claypot dish like pen cai as a symbol of abundance and prosperity. These quintessential dishes carry deep auspicious meaning and are foundational to Lunar New Year traditions!
What is the typical price range for a CNY hotel reunion dinner?
For a multi-course hotel banquet reunion dinner in Singapore, prices generally range from $120 to upwards of $180 per person.

Yes, many mid-range Chinese restaurants offer attractive set menus for smaller groups of four to six persons. We also recommend booking a lunch seating or non-peak timing, which are more affordably priced than dinner seatings.
