Regardless of whether you’re celebrating Chinese New Year, curious to try the tradition of Lo Hei and Yu Sheng, or even trying to find some halal Halal Yu Sheng to Lo Hei with your non-Chinese friends, we have the perfect restaurants for you!
For those of you wondering, Lo Hei or 捞起 is a term in Cantonese that translates to “Tossing Up”. It is a customary activity every Chinese New Year where people gather to exchange well-wishes ahead of the Lunar New Year. Yu Sheng, the dish, usually consists of strips of raw fish mixed with a variety of shredded vegetables, sauces, and condiments.
Here's a tip: We recommend you have someone to guide you through the whole process of Lo Hei if you want the full experience!
Here are some of the best Halal restaurants for you to Lo Hei in Singapore this Chinese New Year.
