With less than three weeks to go, we’re looking forward to the prosperous Year of the Ox. Chinese New Year starts on 12 February 2021, a numeric palindrome 12-02-2021 we’re loving (we’d bet punters will be counting on some 4D action right there). As we count down—or cowntdown!— to CNY, we’re brimming with anticipation of get-togethers and all the makan possi-bull-ities. So, watch this space, we’ll be beefing up Oddle Feeds with the best of CNY menus!
In the meantime, here are some ox-cellent CNY greetings and highlights of some of the best feasts and goodies you can share with friends and fam!
OXOX,
