We were invited to Chinatown Food Street to participate in a Chinese New Year Supper Reunion, of which Yu Sheng was served.
The ingredients and the meaning of each ingredient is very important to bring good luck and fortune in the coming New Year.
All the ingredients were added together (picture on left), we then had to use our chopsticks to mix the ingredients together (picture on right) while saying some auspicious words for health and wealth. The higher the ingredients are tossed, the more wealth and good luck will come to you for the next year.
There are are total of 24 Hawker Stalls at Chinatown Food Street, serving cuisine from different races in Singapore, and we got to sample a selection of those (pictured below).
