Happy Birthday & Happy New Year

Happy Lunar New Year to all. To the Chinese race, Chinese New Year will last for 15 days. Tomorrow is the 7th day of Chinese New year and according to the Chinese, tomorrow is what we call "Ren Ri", and this day is everyone's birthday. In Singapore, during the period of Chinese New Year, we will eat a chinese dish call Yu Sheng, especially on this day.

This is a special dish that is only available in Singapore and is invented by Singapore's top 4 famous chef. Yu Sheng is a special dish that is mainly made up of carrots, green carrots & raddish, and many other side things. Every item, including the sauce, represent auspicious wishes. When we pour the ingredients and sauce, we will often say all the auspicious sayings. This is to pray and hope that everyone will have a good year ahead.

There have been some changes to this dish over the years. E.g some restaurants uses different types of fruits to substitute the carrots & raddish; some uses abalone instead of salmon fish or other fish.
