Chinese New Year restaurants for a reunion dinner plus CNY goodies galore
Sheraton Towers Singapore for festive takeaway menus
Chinese New Year has a way of creeping up faster than expected, especially once you start thinking about who’s coming, what you’re cooking and how much space you actually have. That’s where premium takeaway menus from established restaurants come into their own.
At Sheraton Towers Singapore, Li Bai Cantonese Restaurant’s handcrafted Chinese New Year offerings are designed very much with home family reunion celebrations in mind, bringing restaurant-style dishes to the table without turning your kitchen into a production line.
Available until 28 February, Li Bai’s festive takeaway selection focuses on the kind of food that feels right at the centre of a reunion meal: generous claypots, slow-braised specialities and yu sheng meant for sharing. New this year is the Tilefish Claypot Rice with stuffed morel mushrooms, dried shrimp and yam ($298 for six). There’s also the Eight Treasures Sea Cucumber with six-head dried abalone ($488 for six), a traditional-style centrepiece.
Yu sheng remains non-negotiable for many families, and Li Bai’s Platters of Fortune range from smoked salmon to bluefin tuna and Boston lobster, with optional add-ons for those who like to customise their toss. There’s also a line-up of classic New Year take-home goodies: nian gao, radish cake, yam cake and water chestnut cake, plus extras like salted egg fish skin and XO sauce that tend to linger in the fridge long after visiting relatives have gone home.
For those who prefer to celebrate out rather than at home, Sheraton Towers Singapore also offers Li Bai’s Lunar New Year set menus for dine-in until 3 March 2026, with options ranging from small family gatherings to larger group celebrations. There are also Prosperity Reunions in private rooms, and a festive buffet spread at The Dining Room, giving families the choice between takeaway, restaurant dining or something in between.

Lush Platters
If hosting at home (or the office) is on your Chinese New Year to-do list, Lush Platters makes it a lot simpler. Their CNY 2026 collection is designed for people who want food that looks generous and festive, without spending days planning and prepping.
The main draw is their eight-course buffet format, which you build yourself. You choose one starter or salad, two sides, two staples, two mains and a dessert. There are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options across the menu, so it’s easy to cater for different diets without overthinking it. You can go for a full buffet setup for 20 to 100 people from $49 per person, plus setup, which includes delivery, styling and teardown. Or you can choose the eight-course mini buffet for 10 to 40 people from $52 per person, plus delivery. It arrives ready to serve in self-heating packaging, which makes it especially handy for smaller gatherings or office lunches.
Highlights include Canton-style steamed seabass with lime garlic dressing, char siu glazed chicken with fresh onion salsa, and tamari beef with nam jim sauce. There are also plant-based options, like Sichuan-style spiced mapo tofu. Desserts stay light and celebratory, with choices such as tropical mango mousse with pomegranate and mini red bean moon-puffs.
For a proper CNY moment, there’s an optional Lo Hei Prosperity Toss set at $98, serving eight to ten people. It comes with chopsticks, plates and a tablecloth, so you don’t have to piece everything together yourself.
New for this year is the Golden Graze Chinese New Year Platter. This grazing board includes persimmon, cheddar, pineapple wensleydale, sambal gouda, grapes, carrots, macadamias, and their signature white bean and mala dip.
For anyone who prefers a quicker ordering option, Lush Platters also offers ready-made bundles, including the Golden Wok Bundle, the Dynasty Set Bundle and the Imperial Feast Bundle, all priced in the mid-$200s plus delivery.
These Chinese New Year goodies are available for a limited season, with delivery slots running from 23 January to 18 March, and peak dates filling quickly.
