‘Loh Sung’ or ‘Yee Sung’ – a must-have dish during Chinese New Year. We had this measly plate of loh sung with ‘hoi jit’ (jelly fish) at Toh Yuen Chinese Restaurant @ PJ Hilton last night and it was freaking expensive.
Though expensive, we still ordered the smallest plate as it is considered something very ‘lai si’ or good luck / fortunate to have during CNY. Before this dish is eaten, it has been a practise that everyone on the dining table tosses all the ingredients in this dish together with chopsticks and say all the good things simultaneously, like good health, long life, good bonus, prosperous business, etc. etc. The higher you toss the ingredients, the better!
The ingredients of this dish consist of pomelo (a type of local fruit similar to the grapefruit), deep fried noodles (and colored with red and green food coloring), crushed peanuts, lime juice, thick sour plum sauce, sesame seed oil, crackers, jelly fish, raw fish (salmon or ‘sang yee’), parsley, sliced ginger, sliced carrots, sesame seed, and much more.
Do you like loh sung / yee sung? I like it with jelly fish and lots of pomelo.
