Christmas didn’t end too long ago, but we – or our stomachs, at least – can’t wait for Lunar New Year. Golden brown pineapple tarts, charred bak kwa strips, and gloriously colourful platters of lo hei? We’re all ready.

From up to $50 dining vouchers to discounted buffets, here are 8 hotel dining deals specially for DBS/POSB Cardmembers so you’re not burning a massive hole in your pocket.
