One of our favourite parts of the Chinese New Year reunion dinner is the chance to yell auspicious sayings and toss yusheng in Singapore. Look forward to your upcoming tosses ‘cos Singapore’s 2026 yusheng offerings promise plenty of huat for Chinese New Year. From crowd-favourite salmon lo hei to inventive Peranakan-style yusheng to lavish abalone-topped platters, these auspicious creations bring the flavour and good fortune for the year ahead.
For the uninitiated, yusheng – also known as lo hei, which literally means “tossing up good fortune” – is a riotously joyful Chinese New Year tradition that you can’t miss. This vibrant raw fish salad features a colourful medley of shredded vegetables, crackers, sauces and seasonings, each symbolising prosperity, abundance, good luck, and other positive attributes. The magic happens when everyone stands, chopsticks poised, and tosses the platter as high as possible while shouting auspicious phrases.
