It isn’t exactly Chinese New Year until you’ve partaken in one too many lo heis, which translate from Cantonese to “tossing up fortune”.
After all, yu sheng is a quintessential dish when it comes to celebrating the conviviality of reunions and the New Year, with no better way to get all of your well-wishes out (and receive plenty in return) as ingredients are added while reciting their corresponding phrases.
That said, yu sheng has changed with the times. Certain ingredients, like plum sauce, crackers or sesame oil are mainstays to the festive platter – not the least for their auspicious meanings.

What a year 2020 has been. All our plans for travel were disrupted and even meeting up with friends was limited to just five people, until just a couple of days ago when we entered Phase 3.
However, humans are adaptable creatures and adapt we did to the new normal. First, staying at home and working from home during circuit breaker (CB), then wearing a mask everywhere we go, and having to check in and check out of public places.
For most of us, working from home was a first and while it felt
shiok at first, the lines between work and home started to blur and we had to find ways to stay sane. It was also the first time that we would face our family members 24/7, which brought out the best and the worst sides of us.
