The vibrant red lanterns and ang baos, the Mandarin oranges, delicious goodies and extravagant ‘lucky’ feasts are defining characteristics of the preparations to welcome the coming year with hope.
Feast at Home
Reunion dinners were traditionally celebrated at home. It signified a family’s homage to its ancestors by gathering together on Chinese New Year eve. It is the one time all family members gather to feast and drink without fail. However, in Singapore, this tradition has seen a change as eating out for Chinese New Year is becoming popular. Due to this, restaurants have become very competitive in their offerings with various sets and packages for different budgets.
