Hot on the heels of Christmas comes The Year of the Rabbit! Here are our 10 picks for the best CNY 2023 menus, feasts and takeaways to sink your teeth into for a year of abundance

According to Chinese folklore, the Jade Emperor decided to host a party and that the arrival of his animal guests would determine the zodiac order.

Talk about an incentive to be early!

While the rabbit technically was the first to arrive, he eventually was placed fourth due to his complacency. 

Based on the Chinese lunar calendar, 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit. With the resumption of festive gatherings, we tune our radar to some of the most delectable in-dining and delivery menus to consider to usher in the new Spring. 

Here’s our pick of 10 best CNY 2023 set menus and takeaways for all your reunion meals. Hopefully, you'll be energised like a bunny with the sumptuous feasts!
