With COVID-19 restrictions still in place in Singapore, if we only can enjoy limited company, we should at least enjoy great food and feel the festive energy! So here is the history of Yusheng and how lohei or lo sheng with “lo” or in chinese, 捞 is the act of tossing. The term “Lo Hei”, is meant to signify to “rise” (起 “hei”), again a reference to a thriving health, wealth, career, business and the list goes on for everything that is prosperous.

Tradition of Yusheng and how it came about
Lo hei 捞起 (Cantonese for tossing up) refers to the communal tossing of yusheng 鱼生. Traditionally, the practice was commonly observed on Renri 人日, the seventh day of the first lunar month. Today, people can enjoy yusheng throughout the entire Chinese New Year period!
Yusheng can be understood literally as 'raw fish' in Chinese. However, yu 鱼 ('fish') is also a homophone to yu 余 ('abundance'), while sheng 生 ('raw') shares the same character and pronunciation as sheng 生 ('growth', 'life'); together, the name of the dish implies an increase in abundance and conveys the wish of prosperity and long life!
Origins of Yusheng Debated
Raw fish has been part of the Chinese culinary culture but by the end of the Qing Dynasty, the consumption of raw fish slices was limited to the southern Chinese province of Guangdong and the Chaoshan region. Cantonese and Teochew immigrants introduced the yusheng dish to Singapore in the 19th century. That's how lo hei has become a ritualised culinary experience in Singapore!
Some argued it was orginated from Malaysia or Singaporean chefs. The battle of food between these 2 countries never ceases. However, Yusheng is a prosperous and harmonial food for the occasion. Leave the debate behind and enjoy what the past have given to us - a tradition of gathering together and wishing the best for people you care about.
