Cow-ntdown to Chinese ‘Niu’ Year 2021!

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!

Have you planned your family reunions? Many popular Chinese restaurants are fully booked for Chinese New Year Eve and the first and 15th day of the Lunar New Year, when large reunion meals are customary.

The good news is, lots of them are still accepting pre-orders for their CNY menus, for delivery or self collection! Still, orders and delivery slots may be limited, so place your food orders early to avoid disappointment.
