A Majestic Reunion at Typhoon Cafe
For those who want a reunion that feels both special and affordable, Typhoon Cafe has launched a Chinese new year set that captures the spirit of the season. Our Chinese new year set menus are designed to bring people together over festive dishes that carry deep meaning. Whether you are a regular diner or visiting for the first time, the atmosphere here is perfect for a new year celebration.
Lucky Bites and Meaningful Flavours
The menu starts with appetizers that symbolise wealth and joy. You cannot miss the dumpling selection, which is a traditional way to represent ancient gold ingots. Choosing the right Chinese New Year food is about more than just taste; it is about inviting good fortune into your life.
If you are looking for a celebratory dish that represents abundance and prosperity, the Steamed Barramundi is the way to go. In Chinese culture, Yu (fish) is essential because it sounds like the word for having a surplus. It is a CNY classic that ensures you start the year with more than enough.

Why This Feast Stands Out
The Chinese New Year 2026 offerings at Typhoon Cafe focus on a reunion meal that is easy to enjoy. Our set menu for four includes main dishes like San Bei Ji or Braised Pork Belly, which provide a savoury and indulgent experience. Every celebratory bite is flavoured to perfection, making it a crowd favourite for families.
Premium ingredients: High-quality seafood and meats prepared with care.
Majestic presentation: Beautifully plated to enhance the festive mood.
Convenient locations: Easy to dine at popular malls across the island.
Traditional Chinese roots: Recipes that respect the heritage of the holiday.
While many restaurants in Singapore focus on luxury with high price tags, this feast offers a balanced experience. You can enjoy a lively atmosphere while tucking into lunar new year treats and perhaps a sweet dessert to end the night on a high note. Don't forget to start your meal by tossing yusheng for an extra boost of luck!
To enjoy this reunion dinner, head down to one of our convenient locations. The Chinese New Year reunion sets are available from 2 February to 3 March, 2026 giving you plenty of time to enjoy the incredible flavour.
