About 500 guests gathered at a landed home in Marine Parade for a Chinese New Year celebration hosted by Eric Cheng, founder of real estate firm Sevens Group. Minister for Law Edwin Tong was among those present.
TikTok influencer @Koocester, known for spotlighting people from delivery riders to entrepreneurs, posted a video of the event on Feb 25. The clip has since garnered more than 325,000 views and 18,700 likes.
The post was also shared on Sevens Group’s Instagram page.
In the video, Mr Cheng greets the influencer at a landed house in Marine Parade, where a row of cars are displayed and inflatable festive decorations adorn the roof.
Speaking to Koocester, Mr Cheng estimates that about 550 people would attend the party, adding that neighbours and residents in the East Coast area were welcome to join.
“I like the kampung spirit. I always feel that I should share my joy, my fun, my memories,” he says.
The video cuts to a spread of food catered for the party, and members from a Sevens Groups lion dance troupe posing for a photo in their costumes.
The celebration also featured a full bar setup, a “wheel of fortune” where attendees could win red packets, a live band, and a table of sourdough bread baked by Mr Cheng, served alongside curry chicken prepared by his mother.
