Yu Sheng


We can only enjoy this dish - Yu Sheng during Chinese New Year. I quite like it but just don't want to eat the salmon. :P Afterall, I don't like raw food. Chinese must have this dish as it means an increase in abundance. Therefore, yusheng is considered a symbol of abundance, prosperity and vigor.

Today, this dish is served as an appetizer to raise 'good luck' for the new year and is usually eaten on Renri, the seventh day of the CNY. Of course I have this dish on that day with my family. Guess what, my kid also like to toss it with chopsticks. Do you know we messed up the table because the higher we toss, the greater for our fortunes.
