January: Feast on New Year festivities in Singapore
Mark the Lunar New Year this January 22 by wandering through a sea of red and gold in Singapore's heavily decorated Chinatown. Buy delicate ang bao, the tiny red envelopes traditionally used to gift money as a sign of luck and prosperity, then sit for a hawker meal at Lau Pa Sat (order the fragrant chicken rice). Or ring in the Year of the Rabbit in style by booking a reunion dinner (a family gathering typically held on New Year’s Eve) to remember at Yì by Jereme Leung – that plates a modern twist on traditional Chinese cuisine.
