Reconciliation dinner time! A New Year celebration is incomplete if you don't have a lavish dinner. This is the time of the year when most Chinese families in Singapore gather with their loved ones to enjoy extravagant dinners. Many families also keep it a small affair by just trying home-cooked food together. At the same time, some may prefer to go to a Chinese restaurant where they can indulge in a full-blown many-course meal with their elongated families.

Those who are visiting Singapore can book their places in advance using the Klook promo code to enjoy all the best places at affordable prices and enjoy the concept of eating together. There is a culture in Singapore of trying overwhelming dishes, including Yu Sheng (literally interpreted as Raw Fish), which consists of a giant plate of raw fish, with various grated herbs, several sweet seasonings and crispy wafers.

The celebration time! For the next day, on the big eve, Singaporeans can actually spend quality time with family and friends for the Happy Chinese New Year's Eve! The families and friends of Singaporeans enjoy the first two days of the evening by visiting each other's homes as a custom tradition, where they welcome the new year and wish each other good fortune for the coming year.

Back to business! As we know, Chinese New Year's Eve is celebrated for long days, for 15 days at least. It's that time when everyone, including Singaporeans, enjoys the evening for three days and goes back to work after that. The very legendary one will return to work on appropriate 'promising' days on the basis of their Chinese zodiac, so they may take a longer leave break. There are few companies and industries that offer a long break during this period.
