What is open during Chinese New Year 2014?

Here’s my annual list of places that are open during the CNY period! Hope you find it useful. If the supermarket or shopping centre in Orchard road is not listed here, it’s because the information is not available! You can also check last year’s guide or 2012 guide for reference.

 Here’s wishing you a prosperous and happy Chinese New Year! Huat ah!!
