Credit Card Deals To Have Your Reunion Dinner

The Chinese New Year Reunion dinner remains one of the most important dinners and gatherings of the year, especially in an age where many families are no longer able to make time to sit down together for nightly dinners.

This is why many Singaporeans still see it as an important part of Chinese New Year and go to great lengths to prepare for it. However, preparing a sumptuous feast for 10 or more can be a challenging task for whoever is cooking, not to mention the clean up after that and the fact that you need to get up early the next day. This is why many of us are opting to eat out these days. Here, we bring you a curated list of restaurants to have your reunion dinner, not to mention the discounts that come with using the right credit card.
