Take a breath. You’ve made it through the Christmas and New Year’s Eve hangover. Another busy holiday season is coming to an end and all that’s left is Chinese New Year to prep for.
As usual, we’re here to help because we’d rather you spend time with the fam than in traffic around town. So, grab your wallet and head to Chinatown Point where you can get all of your CNY shopping done, feast on festive plates, and score freebies – all in one place.
You’re out there stocking up on CNY essentials and at some point, you’ll want to eat. And that’s where these food deals come in.
Not only can the Prosperity Abalone Yu Sheng at A-One Signature help you usher in all the good vibes, it’s also a steal ($33.80). Swing by from 13th Jan till 5th Feb 2023 to order one and toss it with the fam. But if steamboats are more your jam, then the soul-soothing Reunion Hotpot Menu Set ($188) at Wu Wang Guo will make your heart sing.
In the off chance that you don’t have time to tuck into a big pot of broth but still crave soup, there’s Song Fa Bak Kut Teh. Get your usual and throw in a few side dishes to hit $35 so you can grab a free red packet on the way out (while stock lasts).
Also yes, the truffle trend is still alive and well. And the Prosperity Bundle ($39) from Aroma Truffle filled with truffle chips and Orijin+ chips will be well received by giftees who love all things truffle.
But if you’re after a more traditional treat, consider the hampers from Eu Yan Sang. You’ll get yourself a free gift (worth up to $988) when you spend a minimum of $128 at the store.
News just in: Chinatown Point is giving away a tonne of freebies like a pair of 12-inch Red Pixiu by Fengshui World (worth $3,388), Lucky Emperor Fortune Cat Figurine by Fortune Cat SG, $1,888 in cash, FairPrice vouchers, and a 2D1N Staycation at Capitol Kempinski Hotel from now till 5th Feb. Told you it’s gonna be epic.
To get in on it, all you need to do is spend at least $88 in a single receipt. You’ll then be able to enter their Prosperity Lucky Draw and stand to win one of those prizes. That said, if you have more money to blow, by all means. You can get a trendy Huat Sling Bag from now till 12th Jan or a Prosperity Cushion from 13th Jan till 5th Feb for free with a maximum of 3 same-day receipts of $288.
Since you’re in the giving mood, swing by Concierge on Level 2 to donate $2 and receive a set of 9 Perennial red packets. Your contribution will be a big help to children in low-income families that are part of the CATCH Plus programme.
You’re a sucker for a good holiday market, no matter how busy it may be. So obviously, when CNY approaches, you turn your attention to the festive Prosperity Fair at Chinatown Point.
A few things you can do here: stock up on tarts, cookies, and bak wa for when those munchie moments hit; Grab lanterns, ornaments, and gold ingots to manifest lots of luck and cha-ching in your life. And, don’t forget the rabbit-related pendants and trinkets.
Take as much time as you need to get your shopping done. But if you are here from 12th-15th Jan, check out the Rainbow Calligraphy between 1pm and 3pm. You’ll need to show 1 receipt of $88 or over to get your name adorned by a calligraphy master but it’s going to be worth it.
The holidays low-key stress you the heck out. But hang in there because gift-giving szn is almost over. Just do your final power walks around Chinatown Point, pick up CNY gifts and treats, and try to win some sweet prizes in the process.
Oh and, there’ll be a lion dance performance, along with a God Of Fortune mascot who will grace you with their appearance on 27th Jan at 2pm at the Atrium. Be there or be square.
