Top 5 Yu Sheng Delivery Options this Chinese New Year 2019

Lohei remains one of the most important family activities during the Chinese New Year festive period. It is done to usher in good things for the year ahead. Lohei is traditionally done with the Yusheng meal and this has made it a staple in most Singaporean homes during the festivities.

Yu Sheng was traditionally eaten on the seventh day of the Chinese New Year but in recent times is eaten at almost all family dinners between the first and fifteenth day of the new year.

The meal is made using strips of raw fish mixed with shredded vegetables and different sauces and condiments depending on the chef’s taste. It is reputed to have begun in 1964 with four Singaporean master chefs nicknamed the ‘Four Heavenly Culinary Kings’ and for good measure too. The dish has stuck around since then as a Chinese New Year staple among Singaporeans.

The name Yu sheng in Chinese means ‘raw fish’ but since the Chinese word for fish is often confused for its homophone which translates to an increase in abundance, the meal is eaten as a symbol of abundance, wealth and vitality.

Not too long ago, making your own Yu sheng was the trend but over time some families have moved over to going to restaurants to perform their lohei. Now, you can have it delivered straight to your home.  Some of the best places to order Yu Sheng for the 2019 Chinese New Year are;
