Ring in the year of the tiger with some signature Chinese dishes!
Another Chinese holiday is upon us. Although we might not be able to celebrate this year’s Chinese new year with a bang like how we’re used to, we can still celebrate it at the comforts of our homes with the people we love safely. But what’s a Chinese festival without some awesome Chinese food to celebrate it with?
We know how preparations for big events such as this requires a lot of hard work – and let’s face it, it can get quite overwhelming fast. That’s why some families opt to celebrate it by booking Chinese restaurants instead. However, this may pose a problem this year due to the pandemic, and getting a reservation might be a lot more difficult especially if you haven’t started looking yet.
Don’t fret because we’ve listed down the best places that offer Chinese food trays to save you all the hassle of preparing them yourselves or stressing out trying to get a reservation. Just make sure to order in advance to avoid any unnecessary hassle.
