Lohei: the best time to “accidentally” spill food on that nosy aunty, all in the name of festivity. Tossing Yusheng (raw fish salad) metaphorically welcomes a prosperous year and families in Singapore un-tiresomely do so year after year.
Painstakingly sifting through restaurants’ refreshing, fancy, weird, opulent etc. creations, we’ve listed our 7 most-loved Yusheng for your indulgence this 2017.
#1 Xin Cuisine Chinese Restaurant
Abalone and Salmon Yusheng with Shredded Yam, Shredded Sweet Potato, and Dragon Fruit Dressing
(B) $138.00 / (S) S$98.00
Finally, something other than plum or yuzu sauce. Basically, everything else is pretty standard except for the vibrant-coloured dragon fruit dressing that will attribute to a visually astounding Yusheng.
