  • Lo Hei 捞起 What Is Lo Hei?
    LO HEI 捞起 WHAT IS LO HEI? It is the “Prosperity Toss of salad items” practised by the Chinese during the Lunar New Year. Yusheng (or yee sang or yuu sahng) is a Teochew-style raw fish salad. It usually consists of strips of raw fish (most commonly salmon), mixed with shredded vegetables and a variety of sauces and condiments, among other ingredients. Yusheng literally means “raw fish” but since “fish (鱼)” is commonly conflated with its homophone* “abundance (余)”, Yúshēng (鱼生) is interpreted as a homophone for Yúshēng (余升) meaning an increase in abundance. Therefore, Yusheng is considered a symbol of abundance, prosperity and vigour. While versions of it are thought to have existed in China, the contemporary version was created and popularised in the 1960s amongst the ethnic Chinese community and its consumption has been associated with Chinese New Year festivities in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. [*A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same as another word but differs meaning. They may also differ in spelling] BACKGROUND Eating Yusheng during Chinese New Year is a cultural activity for Chinese living in Singapore and Malaysia, but not so much in other Chinese-populated countries such as Hong Kong, where the practice is almost unheard of. This may be due to the origins of the dish, which was created by 4 master chefs in a Singapore (then still part of Malaysia) restaurant kitchen way back in 1964. It made its debut during Lunar New Year of 1964 in Singapore’s Lai Wah Restaurant (established in Sept. 1963). The 4 master chefs were Than Mui Kai (Tham Yu Kai, co-head chef of Lai Wah Restaurant), Lau Yoke Pui (co-head chef of Lai Wah Restaurant), Hooi Kok Wai (founder of Dragon- Phoenix Restaurant) and Sin Leong (founder of Sin Leong Restaurant), who together created that as a symbol of prosperity and good health amongst the Chinese .

  • Chinese Cuisine Goes Upscale New Wave of Chinese Restaurants Offers an Alternative to Greasy Takeout
    Chinese Cuisine Goes Upscale New wave of Chinese restaurants offers an alternative to greasy takeout By Sophia Hollander Feb. 2, 2016 8:57 p.m. ET On-tap offerings at the bar at Williamsburg’s Kings County Imperial include beer, cocktails—and soy sauce. It’s one of a new wave of Chinese restaurants trying to dispel the cuisine’s reputation in New York City as greasy takeout by relying on fresh ingredients, an ambitious drink selection and upscale ambience—with prices to match. Proponents say it is the natural evolution of a complex cuisine that they say has been dumbed down for decades in the U.S. They point to other ethnic foods that have undergone a similar journey in New York, yielding some of the city’s most celebrated restaurants. “You think about Italian food 20 years ago in New York. It was pasta and red-sauce places, and now you get places like Babbo,” said David Garcelon, culinary director at the Waldorf Astoria New York, which in the fall opened La Chine, a luxury Chinese restaurant. At La Chine, a special menu for the Lunar New Year to be offered later this month includes Lo Hei Yusheng raw fish salad ($68) served tableside. But in New York City, entrenched habits can die hard, especially when it comes to price. “People have this idea that Chinese food has to be $5.99 and come with free rice and a side of wonton soup,” said Danielle Chang, who founded the annual Asian food festival LuckyRice in 2010. “That’s really backwards thinking.” Some question whether efforts to bring higher-quality dishes can be successful without changing the cuisine beyond recognition.
