What is it like to celebrate Chinese New Year while as a doctor? Is it possible to feast and indulge in festive goodies like pineapple tarts, kuih bangkit and nian gao while staying healthy?

Our guests in order of appearance were Dr George Lee, Consultant Urologist; Dr Kenneth Fong, Consultant Ophthalmologist and Vitreoretinal Surgeon; Assoc Prof Dr Tan Maw Pin, Consultant Geriatrician; and Goo Chui Hoong, Dietitian.
