KUCHING: Most restaurant operators here are expecting a drastic drop in orders for the Chinese New Year eve reunion dinner packages in view that dine-ins are prohibited on the day due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Founder and culinary advisor to Hoi Tin Lau Restaurant, master chef Goh Ah Seng, told The Borneo Post their business volume for the upcoming festive reunion dinner is expected to drop by as much as 70 per cent compared with last year’s.
