JOHOR BARU: For some families, Chinese New Year reunion dinners are planned months in advance, while for others, they are booked a full year ahead. “Once our menus were finalised, we contacted them to choose their desired packages,” said the staff member, who declined to be named. According to the staff member, most customers are regulars, comprising a mix of locals and Singaporeans who have family members in Johor. Our prices are also lower compared to hotels and major seafood restaurants to cater to the mid-range market,” he said. Looking beyond the Chinese New Year holidays, Teo said the association is working with tour groups in Guangzhou, China, to promote Johor, Singapore and Batam as a combined tourism destination.
