"At present, all the orders have been booked from the junior New Year to the third day of the Chinese New Year." "The seats from the junior New Year to the first and second day of the Chinese New Year were booked in August last year." "The private rooms from the beginning of the New Year's Eve dinner to the fifth day of the Chinese New Year are gone, and there are still some more seats on the sixth day of the Chinese New Year." This is the New Year's Eve dinner reservation situation asked by the reporter from the heads of many time-honored brands in Huangpu. Although it is more than a month before the Lunar New Year's Spring Festival, the reservations for the New Year's Eve dinner of time-honored brands can be said to be "hard to get a meal".
For this reason, many citizens chose to order old-fashioned semi-finished New Year dishes in advance, "I have bought it for several years. The set meal is very suitable for the combination, tastes good and has a large portion. Take it home and heat it up and you can eat it." At one afternoon, Aunt Wang, a citizen, was shopping in front of the New Year's goods poster in front of the hall of Xinya Guangdong Restaurant. "In the past, the whole family had New Year's Eve dinner in a restaurant, but the situation this year was quite special. The family decided to have New Year's Eve dinner at home."
Recently, the reporter visited many old-fashioned brands in Huangpu. According to the reports of citizens, more than half of the citizens choose to eat New Year’s Eve dinner at home.
"Master's Family Banquet" has many choices, and the details can be found in the real chapter
"This set menu is quite good, there are several signature dishes." Citizen Aunt Wang and her sister made an appointment to order New Year's dishes in Xinya. Aunt Wang told reporters that she had bought New Year’s Eve dishes in Xinya for several years, and she still chose to eat New Year’s Eve dinner at home this year, but the walls of New Year’s goods posters made her difficult. In the end, Aunt Wang chose the "Master's Family Banquet" B set that costs 1,698 yuan per set.
It is understood that the "Xinya Master Family Banquet" series of meals produced by Xinya Guangdong Restaurant include cold dishes, hot stir-fry, soup and snacks. It is a complete banquet. The cooking master team of Xinya Guangdong Restaurant led by Huang Renkang, the executive chef of Xinya and the inheritor of Shanghai Cantonese cuisine, tailor-made for the New Year's Eve dinner.
Huang Renkang told reporters that this year, Xinya has 27 New Year gift packages, and the gift boxes include fresh fresh dishes, semi-finished dishes, Chinese and Western snacks, cooked food, etc. "From the pre-sale situation, the most popular sellers are currently several "Master's Family Banquet" semi-finished dishes gift boxes."
It is worth mentioning that in order to allow citizens to perfectly replicate the big dishes, Xinya also carefully attached a recipe guide to each box of meals, so that it is not easy to "turn over" during the practical operation. "Every year, the chef team will adjust the menu based on consumer purchases and restaurant dining feedback, and open multiple sets of selected menus according to different needs, so that everyone can eat New Year's Eve dinner at home with a more ritual feeling, and it will not be cumbersome at the same time," said Huang Renkang.

Wang Xiaping told reporters, "This year's semi-finished New Year's dishes have increased compared with previous years. Many customers choose to eat New Year's Eve dinner at home."
