What better way to usher in the New Year then having blessing sent to us through Lo Hei!
It is customary to gather your families and friends to toss the ingredients while saying auspicious well-wishes out loud to usher in good luck. Traditionally, Yusheng plays on the homonyms where “yu” means “fish” but enunciated appropriately, it also means “abundance”; and “sheng” means literally “raw” but enunciated appropriately, it means “life”. Thus Yusheng implies “abundance of wealth and long life”!
In Cantonese it is known as “lo sheng” with “lo” also meaning “tossing up good fortune”. The tossing action is called “Lo Hei”, which means to “rise” (“hei”). Hence it is believed the higher you toss the ingredients in the salad, the greater your fortunes will be! Yaas to more good fortunes!

What could be more endearing than sharing a hot, bubbling pot of yummy things with our work family!
You think we’d stop at having one reunion dinner? Of course we had to have one in the office as well. In courtesy of PrimaTaste, we had a nice homely gathering in the office. Psst, try the Laksa broth, it’s super good!
With love,
