Every year, there are long queues outside Lim Chee Guan outlets as people wait in line to purchase their bak kwa for Chinese New Year (CNY). Well, there won't be any snaking lines this year even as the festive season approaches. Instead, you'll have to go to their website to make your orders, all because of social distancing measures. All.

Shortly after Lim Chee Guan launched its Chinese New Year pre-order website yesterday, the online traffic hit an unprecedented high.
Official announcements posted on its social media platforms indicated that the website will remain inaccessible for today (Jan 7) as steps are taken to resolve all technical issues.
The New Paper reported on Wednesday this is the first time in Lim Chee Guan’s history that festive sales for its bak kwa have pivoted online.
A spokesman told TNP: “We apologise profusely for the temporary technical issues.
“This is the first year. we had prepared for a surge of log-ins for the launch by increasing our server capacity. However, it was much greater than expected.”
