‍I enjoyed the lion dance the most. It was massive and majestic.

The performance, food and an event to meet friends are the most enjoyable

It was very well organized. Great event! The food was very good.

Hope you had lots of fun - thank you so much for pulling in the time to make it an amazing event for everyone there!

Meeting the people there!

Great event last night, my kids love it!

The event was professional run and well planned out in every aspect. It’s not an easy task to run and plan such a big event. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to the community!

Thanks so much for putting this event together. It's great to get to meet the rest of the Singapore/Malaysian community
