It puts on a New Year event for them each year, to give a sense of inclusion to those far from home. Admirers of Chinese food and culture were also welcome.
Mrs Ng expected a full house of 20 to 30 for the banquet last night. On the menu were dumplings and spring rolls to start, with the traditional main attraction of roast pork to follow. Other dishes include soy chicken, spicy beef, Chinese vegetables and seafood.
People would also be giving each other money, in red envelopes, for luck.
The branch's lion will be out of storage for the occasion, but only for photographs. The group does not have the trained dancers needed to prance it through the streets, or the teasers to tempt it forward with their red fans.
The New Year celebration lasts another two weeks, and for Chinese it includes fireworks and visits to relatives and friends.
