Whether it's because of price factors or added convenience, more families are deciding to have their Chinese new year reunion dinners at Hawker centres rather than in restaurants or at home.
Some hawkers have even brought in special festive dishes that they are selling especially for the Chinese new year period.
Some people who have decided to have reunion meals at hawker centres have cited that it's cheaper and more flexible than eating at a restaurant while it's more convenient than having to cook at home.
Usually, restaurants have set menus and it's difficult to get a large variety of food. Often, there are also time constraints on how long you can sit and eat.
For these reasons, some said that they have decided to hold reunion dinners at hawker centres instead.
Eating at hawker centres appears to be a more popular choice this year with some hawkers reporting that they have already received over 100 orders for Chinese new year dishes.
However, probably the biggest factor for the shift to hawker centres is the price.
It is possible to have a large reunion dinner with the family for as little as a quarter of the price of going to a restaurant to eat.
More families are turning to alternative venues, besides restaurants and their homes, to hold their traditional reunion dinners.
“We also went to the restaurants but then we are expected to finish our dinner within that timing”, said Mr Teh Siong Koon, a customer at a hawker centre.
“We don’t feel that type of comfort and relaxing mood, enjoying our reunion dinner. That’s why this year we’re trying something new and trying out in the hawker centre.”
Some hawkers Channel NewsAsia spoke to say they are selling traditional Chinese New Year dishes, such as “yusheng” and “pen cai”, just for this festive period.
A hawker at Chinatown said he has already received more than 100 orders for reunion dinner meals and New Year dishes.
Customers say having a reunion meal at the hawker centre saves them the hassle of cooking at home, and not having to stick to a fixed menu like in a restaurant is another draw.
Price is also another factor.
“The food here has more variety. The elders and the children have more choice. You don’t actually have to follow the menu from the restaurant. And prices wise it’s quite a big difference,” said Mr Richard Lee, another customer at a hawker centre.
“In restaurants, you’ll probably need four, five hundred dollars for a set menu for 10 persons but here, probably... less than a hundred. You can actually have some very good food. You’ll have my favourites — char siew or turtle soup. You don’t have to eat abalone or shark’s fin.
