Chinese New Year is not a diet-friendly occasion.

Be it traditional Chinese fare, or Western favourites, Cafe 1228 has you covered. They have an all-you-can-eat menu featuring Western and regional bests. The God of Fortune mascot will also be roaming the lobby and restaurants distributing red packets or “ang pao” with exclusive discounts and treats for dine-in and walk-in guests, so be sure to keep an eye out for him! 

While there, make sure to try their twice-cooked pork belly with sweet potatoes, braised leg of lamb in red wine, hot-off-the-grill shrimps, blue crabs, clams and mussels cooked with a variety of sauces. There are also classic Chinese items like the steamed local sea bass with onion and ginger sauce, wok-fried beef with vegetables, kung pao pork, Buddha’s delight, pork and shrimp spring rolls, as well as steamed pork spare ribs, kutchay dumplings, and pork buns. Yum! 

If you are looking for more, fret not, there are also salads, pasta, pizzas, as well as local favourites.
