16 Best Yu Sheng 2024 in Singapore for Delivery & Takeaway for a Fortune-filled Toss

Yu sheng (鱼生) is an especially popular dish to have in Singapore during Chinese New Year. While the raw fish salad was thought to have originated somewhere in China, the yu sheng that we know today is a primarily Singaporean / Malaysian innovation.

Yu sheng is an especially symbolic dish with each ingredient representing something auspicious for the coming lunar new year. Highly competitive yu sheng offerings by hotels and Chinese restaurants have led to somewhat innovative ingredients, but at its heart, yu sheng traditionally includes the following: raw fish (usually salmon), pomelo, pepper, oil, carrots, green and white radish, peanut crumbs, sesame seeds, dressing (usually plum sauce) and finally, deep fried golden pillows.

Auspicious phrases are supposed to be uttered while each ingredient is being sprinkled into the salad. Tossing of yu sheng is known as lo hei. I won’t go into the specifics of the phrases to be uttered as my main aim here is to show you the best selection of yu sheng for this year. Without further ado, here are the top yu sheng to have in 2024:

Hitoyoshi

Japanese dining specialist, Hitoyoshi is once again making available their bestselling yu sheng for CNY 2024. Choose between the Premium Yu Sheng (S$100.30) or Prosperity Yu Sheng (S$83.30) for your festive celebrations. The main difference between the 2 yu shengs is that the Premium Yu Sheng also comes with scallops and ikura, in addition to salmon, abalone and chutoro (fatty tuna) which both yu shengs possess. For a cheaper option, the Salmon Yu Sheng (S$57.80) does away with other types of sashimi, focusing only on salmon. The yu shengs are available either for delivery or on a self-collection basis and the good news is that they have 4 outlets to collect from which are scattered throughout the island.
