GEORGE TOWN: Instead of lounging around the house during the second day of Chinese New Year, some coffee shop and stall operators are reopening their eateries to brisk business as families take a break from home-cooked food.

Yeap Poh Beng, who sells eggs and toast, said business was good and she didn’t mind skipping the New Year celebrations to reopen yesterday.
