[SINGAPORE] Hotels and restaurants are experiencing stronger Chinese New Year (CNY) dining demand with this year’s longer lead-up to the festive period, as reunion dinner reservations stream in earlier than they did last year.
Food and beverage (F&B) operators said that economic uncertainty has not dampened dining demand or spending, as consumers continue to prioritise gatherings during CNY.
White Restaurant, for instance, has recorded a 50 per cent surge in reservations across the entire month of February, compared with the corresponding CNY period in 2025.
