Chinese New Year is one of my favourite holidays. It is the time to eat bak kwa, pineapple tarts, abalone and all the Chinese Delicacies. Although we are about more than 2 weeks away from Chinese New Year, many of the Chinese restaurants in Singapore are already fully booked for Chinese New Year’s Eve Reunion Dinner. For those of you guys who are currently planning for the CNY Dinner, please make your reservations as soon as possible.
Here’s a list of Chinese New Year Dinner Restaurants for 2011
Feng Shui Inn
The Reunion Dinner during Chinese New Year’s Eve is one of the most important meals for the Chinese. This is a time where everyone gets together for a meal to renew and affirm family ties. If money is not an issue, and you want only the best for your Chinese New Year Reunion Dinner — Feng Shui Inn at Resorts World Sentosa may just be the ideal Chinese New Year Dinner Restaurant.
For $1888++ for 10 pax, indulge in the seven-course Chinese New Year Dinner Menu which includes: Lobster Yu Sheng, Bird’s Nest, and the Braised whole Australia Abalone with sea cucumber. The other CNY menu at Feng Shui Inn is $2888++ for a table of 10.

For those of you who are already planning for Valentine’s Day Dinner, I will recommend some romantic restaurants in Singapore in my Valentine’s Day Feature which will be out next week.
all closed/fully booked how to eat!!! *Sobs
Hi !
The picture of the pun Chou looks fab, which rest is serving that ? Might want to order that for reunion dinner.
Many thanks !
It’s that time of year again…Over 73 million sharks are killed every year just
for their fins to be used in shark fin soup. The shark fin trade is leading to the depletion of many shark species which is leading to the eventual breakdown of the marine web since sharks are top predators and a very important part of the ocean ecosystem. In other words, consuming shark fins, threatens all life in the oceans – including popular seafood!! Shark finning is also VERY cruel. A sharks fins are sliced off and the living shark is thrown back into the sea to die a slow, painful death. Additionally – shark fins contain high levels of mercury, which is toxic to humans! It can cause problems with brain development and can actually cause male infertility! I know this dish is popular during Chinese New Year but I hope people will choose NOT to consume it this year and instead choose to consume imitation shark fins. Many celebrities like Yao Ming and Jackie Chan have already made this pledge.
I have to agree with Sheila. I had not been taking shark fins for a long time. Anyway, my family only eats our simple reunion dinner at home every year. I will probably just pre-order some yu-sheng & go to the supermarket to buy some sashimi to add on to the yu sheng.
