If you’re reading this article, hopefully you’re done planning your annual family reunion dinner and other festive dining gatherings!
With less than a week to usher in the Dragon year, if you haven’t made any restaurant reservations or placed any yusheng orders, now’s the time to firm up your plans. The good news – there are still quite a handful of options left but not for long!
Start by shortlisting places that are likely to please even the fussiest palates, namely hotels and established restaurants. As the date draws closer, competition (and prices) will start heating up so the earlier you book your reservation, the better.
Here’s a quick look at some of the most established gourmet names for an indulgent and pampering experience to start the new year on a high note!
