Our Chinese New Year celebration won’t really be the same without the iconic yu sheng. Thankfully, we don’t have to dine out just to be able to enjoy this ubiquitous dish because a number of establishments—from restaurants to grocers—have made this available for takeaway. Here’s our top five recommendations for you to toss to a prosperous new year of the monkey.

Emporium Shokuhin
The biggest Japanese grocer in Singapore felt inspired to give your CNY celebration a Japanese twist by creating the Shokuhin Fortune Yu Sheng. While the major ingredients such as raw salmon, cucumber, carrot, white and green daikon julienne are still present, the whole dish gets a lift with the addition of edamame, Japanese mandarin slices, yuzu peel and amberjack directly imported from the Ehime prefecture. Rounding off the flavours is the citrusy sauce made with yuzu mikan juice and plum sauce, among other things.
