As we welcome a decade of new beginnings, we concurrently herald the Lunar Year of the Rat.
A year of prosperity and good fortune is best rung in with parties galore, and while you already know about the best restaurants to host your New Year's feast, nothing beats a reunion dinner in the comfort of your own home.

Toss to an auspicious year with four stunning variations of the Fatt Choy Yu Sheng (with prices starting from $32.80++) - Abalone, Salmon, Vegetarian, and an all-new Hamachi ($98/$196++) edition with fresh amberjack sashimi.
If the weather's got you feeling chilly, warm up the family reunion with an opulent Abalone Treasure Pot (starting at $348++), featuring premium whole abalone and fish maw, Japanese dried scallops, Chinese dried oysters, and more.
For desserts, savour the flavour of good fortune with Glutinous Rice Cake, Chestnut Cake, Carrot Cake, or Yam Cake (from $23.80++) dressed in its very own a festive box.
