Chinese New Year is still 4 weeks away yet I just had lo-hei. Lo-hei (撈起) is a Chinese New Year celebratory ritual where thinly sliced raw fish is tossed together with coloured root veggies and pickles. Auspicious ‘blessings’ are recited as each ingredient is added to the dish; with fish an essential item because “fish” in Chinese sounds like ‘abundance’. The other ingredients signify Spring, and other desirables like good health, prosperity, youthful looks, etc.

Thanks to chef Edward Chong. His version was packed with fruits and veggies and was a riot of colour in a humongous plate. Certainly cheered me up for the rest of the day.
