CNY Reunion Dinner...at home and out

Last year I went to ubin restaurant in joo chiat. It cost slightly less than $30 per pax if you order from the ala carte menu. The food was good. I frequent that place . But you need to go down and place your order n put a deposit.

Thank you so much, carebear. I went to the facebook page, the food looks good. I haven't been there before. Will call them to check if they are opened on eve of CNY. Any other places to recommend?

They should be opened on the eve like last year. It was full house last year so better hurry. But to be economical, choose ala carte instead of the reunion dinner menu which we did not like cos it is set and you cannot change it. I think other seafood restaurants may also have reunion diinner at a reasonable price provided you do not take the set menu.
My family does not like the traditional food eg facai, abalone,etc.
For the lohei we did it at home after the dinner. This year we will be doing things a little different. We will be ordering popiah and DIY at home!

We are going to Soup Restaurant. Better book fast if you want to get a good timing and location.

Good choice, I had it for 2 reunion dinners before at changi airport t3. I think by now they should be almost, if not full already as I had to book more than 1 month in advance previously.

Yup, I don't like tradition.
People should be free to do what they want, and not be bound by tradition, they should enjoy tradition instead. I grew up in a family where my grandparents placed lots of emphasis on tradition, at the expense of my parents' marriage.

personally, I prefer to follow some traditions. It is part of what I am and I would like my child to grow up knowing & following them as well.


Following tradition doesn’t mean we can’t be flexible and reach compromises.
