Yusheng literally means raw fish, but separately, yu also means "abundance" and sheng, "life". A popular Chinese style raw fish salad during the celebration of Chinese New Year, yusheng symbolizes "abundance of wealth and long life". With families and friends gathered around the table, yusheng is tossed into the air with chopsticks while participants spout auspicious wishes to mark the start of a prosperous new year. This tossing action is a Chinese New Year custom called lo hei. Singapore and Malaysia have popularised yusheng to the extent that most people do not know that its roots are actually in Jiangmen, Guangdong province. It's available only during this festive period so take every opportunity to enjoy this mouth-watering dish!
