Hello Unregistered,

Traditional Cantonese yu sheng is very nice, with its bright colours from shredded vegetables, both fresh and preserved. But the sweet plum sauce it is tossed in does not exactly perk up one’s appetite.

Since it is served only during Chinese New Year, which is also the time when I’m most laden with good food, a light yu sheng is a much better idea. East Ocean’s Teochew version fits the bill. Priced at $55 for a small serving, it is like a Western salad with whole leaves of butterhead lettuce and endives.

These are arranged prettily in a floral pattern with slices of cucumber and shredded carrot.

The slivers of raw ikan parang are added at the table and the dish is tossed with a savoury soy-based dressing.

It’s refreshing with a nice crunch of fresh vegetables and, more importantly, very delicious too.

Watch out for it the next Chinese New Year.
