For CNY, they are offering an 8-course reunion dinner set meal priced at S$528 for 10 pax, which works out to be around S$60 per pax after taxes.

For that price, you can enjoy smoked salmon yu sheng, their signature roast duck and fish maw soup, with pork ribs, steamed fish and prawn filling out the other courses. This combination of good value value and easy availability is what makes Dian Xiao Er a top pick in our books.

Date: 28 Jan to 12 Feb

Time: 12nn to 2.15pm, 5pm to 9.15pm, closed on Mondays

Michelin Bib Gourmand winner Kok Sen Restaurant serves up authentic Cantonese cuisine in a casual setting without the high prices, and has long been a sought-after venue for good dining in Singapore. 

For CNY, the restaurant is offering two set menus, available throughout the full 15-days of the festive season. The more affordable of the two is Set A, which features a generous 10 courses, sized for 8 to 10 diners. 

Priced at S$588, the menu features traditional dishes like yu sheng, fish maw soup, braised tofu with sea cucumber, and crispy roasted chicken. For dessert, you can enjoy Yam Paste, rarely seen nowadays due to the labour intensiveness of its preparation. That alone makes the menu worthy of consideration!

White Restaurant – 6-course Blessings Set (S$238 for 4 pax)

Date: 7 Jan to 12 Feb

Location: various outlets

Many CNY reunion dinners require dining parties of 8 pax or more for optimal savings, leaving smaller groups having to pay more, while getting lesser courses too!

You won’t find this happening at White Restaurant, which has CNY set menus catered specially to smaller dining groups.

Take for example the 6-course Blessings Set, which is available at S$238 for 4 pax (S$59.50 per pax). You’ll get five dishes and one dessert to savour – including smoked salmon yu sheng, fatt choy pork knuckle, and scallop and abalone bee hoon, and ending with peach gum cheng tng.

PRO TIP: Got a membership? You can save 20% on all CNY set menus when you book the first seating (12nn to 1.30pm).  

Xi Yan – 6-course Happiness Set (S$58.80 per pax)

• Xi Yan @ Shaw (1 Scotts Rd, #03 - 12 / 13, Singapore 228208)
• Zing by Xi Yan @ PLQ (2 Paya Lebar Rd, #01-06/07/08 PLQ Parkside Park Place, Singapore 409053)

Xi Yan made its mark offering fine Chinese dining, but is branching out to the casual dining segment at its Shaw Centre and PLQ locations. That’s where you’ll find the most affordable CNY reunion dinner set menu among its festive lineup.

For S$58.80 per pax (min. 4 pax), you can celebrate with the Happiness Set, a 6-course CNY menu that includes salt-baked chicken, dongpo braised pork belly, prawns in fermented bean curd sauce, and fried nian gao for dessert. 

And yes, this set comes with the restaurant’s signature yu sheng with salmon and ikura as the opening dish. 

Liang Kee Restaurant – 8-course Luck & Prosperity Set (from S$688 for 10 pax)

Seatings (28 Jan only):

• 5pm to 7.30pm

If you’re a foodie living in the Macpherson area, or nearby, chances are you’ve visited Liang Kee Restaurant for a meal or two. This beloved neighbourhood eatery is renowned for classic teochew cooking the way grandma used to make. 

For CNY this year, Liang Kee has put up an affordable set menu starting at S$568 for 6 to 7 pax. This is a hearty 8-course meal that starts with the restaurant’s signature abalone yu sheng, and comes with braised shark’s fin with crab meat; steamed marble goby, teochew braised duck and braised ee-fu noodles (yeah, they’re old school). 

For larger parties of 8 to 10 diners, you can enjoy an additional two courses (cold sweet prawns and steamed garlic scallops) with the extended menu costing S$688 – still great bang for your buck. 

TungLuk Seafood – 5-course CNY Set Menu A (S$68 per pax)

Date: 8 Jan to 12 Feb

Location: various outlets 

Another option for small reunion dinner groups is TungLuk Seafood. 

Ask for the CNY Set Menu A, which provides five courses at S$68 per pax. This set menu is available for minimum 2 pax, and is available at all five locations around the island. 

What’s on the menu? Why you’ll start off with smoked salmon yu sheng, followed by lotus root soup with pork, TungLuk chilli crab meat, and fried ee-fu noodles. Rounding out the meal is a traditional dessert red bean cream with glutinous rice balls. 

Ban Heng @ Boon Keng – 8-course Reunion Dinner Menu OA (S$698 for 10 pax)

Date: 27 Jan (lunch and dinner), 28 Jan (dinner only)

Dinner seatings:

• 5.30pm to 7.30pm
• 8pm to 10pm

Location: Blk 22 Boon Keng Road #01-21, Singapore 330022

Ban Heng has two outlets in operation, one at Orchid Country Club, and the other at Boon Kong. It’s the latter that you’ll want to go for a more budget-friendly reunion dinner set menu. 

Priced at S$698, the Reunion Dinner Menu OA caters to 10 diners. It provides eight courses, headlined by salmon yu sheng, shark fin soup and braised 10-headed abalone, with a supporting cast of braised herbal chicken, poached live prawns and steamed live grouper fish. Honestly not too bad a selection if you’re a die-hard seafood lover. 

Paradise Classic – 8-course Harmony Set (S$688 for 8 to 10 pax)

Date: 10 Jan to 16 Feb

Location: various outlets

The Paradise group of restaurants tends to skew towards the higher end of things, but their Paradise Classic franchise does offer a reasonably priced CNY reunion dinner set menu. 

You’ll want to look for the Harmony Set, which is an 8-course menu serving festive favourites like abalone yu sheng, double-boiled chicken soup, steamed marble goby and braised sea cucumber. It’s priced at S$688 but caters to a maximum of 10 pax, so you can stretch your money a little if you dine with more people. 

Note that this isn’t the most budget-friendly option; that would actually be the Fortune Set (8-course, S$568 for 8 to 10 pax), which is, alas, not available on Chinese New Year’s Eve. But you can enjoy this wallet-friendly set menu if your family isn’t too hung up on having reunion dinner on the eve itself.
