Yu Sheng or Raw Fish Salad is a delicacy during Lunar New Year. the Higher you Toss Up the Dish, the Better is your Luck! this belief started in the 60s by the famous 4 Heavenly Chefs & Restaurant Owners in S'pore. nowadays Salmon has replaced Wolf Herring (Ikan Parang).
this Snake Year 2013, i've to agree with good friend Stanley that this dish from all the outlets we tried seemed Plain! somehow it lacked the Wow! recall we ate this at Wo Peng restaurant on lunar 4th day, he remarked that he already lost count how many times he'd eaten Yu Sheng just for this year!
here you see is from a Neighbourhood Coffee Shop. Takeaway, for less than $20, there're more than 10 types of ingredients exclude the Salmon. in addition there're 2 Good Luck Oranges, an empty Ang Pow with 4D nos written on it, 10 sets of bamboo chopsticks & plastic spoons. not all takeaway provides such.
taste is acceptable. it's not bad. well through restaurants you'll expect to pay at least double!
today is lunar 1st 15th day also known as Chap Goh Meh. officially it's the last day to eat Yu Sheng. but some outlets in Chinatown sell a simpler version usually with Wolf Herring throughout the year.
Happy Chap Goh Meh 2013.
