WELL, Where to Eat this CNY?
The year of the rat is nearly upon us, and what better way to celebrate than to nibble your way through some of the most delectable treats this town has to offer. Renowned as one of the most cunning and quick witted animals of the Chinese zodiac, we’ve paid homage to the rat by putting on our thinking caps and rounding up some of the best places to feast this Chinese New Year season.
In addition to the addictively good dim sum we’ve all come to know and love, the team at Dim Sum Library have been busy crafting some special dishes for the Year of the Rat. We particularly love the limited edition Ingot Treasure kumquat rice cakes that are so cute it’s almost a shame to eat them. The deep fried ox tongue and tomato broth Fortune Orb dumplings are also sure to be a hit.
