SINGAPORE - Look at the mad queues at the wet markets and supermarkets on the eve of Chinese New Year, and you know that Singaporeans take their reunion dinners very seriously.

Whether it is traditional dishes cooked with love by family matriarchs or a luscious steamboat spread where everyone can just plunge in to cook and eat, the heart of the matter is family gathering to ring in a new year with food and hope.

ST Food asked readers to share their meals with us on Instagram using #STreuniondinner, and here are some of their posts.
