Indulge in an exquisite dining experience this reunion with Korean cuisine at Chang Korean BBQ. If you love hearty, traditional fare, this popular Korean restaurant is well patronised by the Korean community. Enjoy Korean BBQ meats such as wagyu ribeye or the Kurobuta pork grilled over charcoal with an assortment of side dishes. They also have a wide selection of authentic Korean dishes such as Samgye Tang (ginseng chicken soup) and the popular Bibimbap (mixed rice with vegetables).

Alternatively, spoil your loved ones with authentic Japanese cuisine at Rakuichi Japanese Restaurant. Enjoy good quality sashimi or uni served on a shell. The popular grilled skewer set is made up of melt-in-your-mouth Yakibuta, which is pork belly braised prior to grilling. Can’t decide what to have? Why not go for the omakase meal where you get to enjoy the best seasonal dishes! Don’t forget to order the Japanese-style Yusheng too.

A favourite with seafood lovers is JUMBO Seafood. Start the dinner with the traditional Yusheng to usher in the New Year. The rich flavours of their signature Chilli Crab is legendary and worth the temporary heartburn. Other must-have signature dishes to add to the reunion feast include Fried Prawns with Cereal, Crispy Baby Squid, Mee Goreng and Golden Egg Salted Prawns. Book early to secure a spot for your family at this award-winning restaurant!

When it comes to sprucing up the home for the new year, not everyone has the time or money to do an entire makeover. But, fret not! You don’t have to spend extravagantly to enjoy a nice change. Here are some of our favourite ways to perk up your home and décor this Lunar New Year.
