How to host a family feast without cooking

WITH the rapid development of modern society, more and more families choose to have their family reunion dinner in restaurants and hotels.

This has made it much more difficult in recent years to get a reservation on Lunar New Year's Eve.

Therefore, some people began to host dinner back at their homes again. But the difference is they don't cook by themselves -- they buy the pre-prepared dishes and when it's dinner time, the only thing they need do is to heat them and put them onto the table.

This month, we've collected some information about pre-prepared family reunion dinners. If you're interested in enjoying a fuss-free Chinese family reunion dinner at your own home, try these options.


Xing Hua Lou

Priced from 488 yuan to 1,288 yuan, Xing Hua Lou gives you various choices of set meals, with all the dishes being well arranged. Take the 488-yuan set as an example. It includes shrimp meat, chicken, yellow croaker, fried fresh milk and Eight Treasure Rice.

To ensure the freshness of the meal, you can buy a reservation ticket first, then call to inform them of the delivery time, or you can just go to their stores and get the meal yourself.
