ONE of the highlights of Chinese New Year is families getting together to celebrate. The “Nian Ye Fan” or Chinese New Year dinner, also called as “Reunion Dinner,” is said to be the most important meal of the year as family members gather together to celebrate the coming year. Considered as the most-loved aspect of the Spring Festival, the dinner is set to share food and time with each other.
The Podium (www.thepodium.com.ph) restaurants join in the celebration with a variety of authentic and mouth-watering Chinese cuisines. Paradise Dynasty definitely sets the mood with its exquisite flavors from northern and southern China. These include its famous specialty Xiao Long Bao as well as La Mian with Braised Pork Belly and Poached Beef in Szechuan Chili Oil.
