Lou hei @ 907 coffeeshop

Yusheng (Chinese: 鱼生; Hanyu Pinyin: yúshēng) is a Chinese-style raw fish salad. It usually consists of strips of raw fish (most commonly salmon), mixed with shredded vegetables and a variety of sauces and condiments, among other ingredients. Literally translated, "yusheng" means "raw fish", though it can also be taken to symbolise abundance, prosperity and vigour.

It is a custom for families and friends to gather around the table and, on cue, proceeding to toss the shredded ingedients into the air with chopsticks while saying 吉祥话 (Jíxiáng Huà, auspicious wishes) out loud.

Typical ingredients include: fresh salmon, daikon (white radish), carrot, red pepper (capsicum), ginger, kaffir lime leaves, chinese parsley, chopped peanuts, toasted sesame seeds, Chinese shrimp crackers (or fried dried shrimp), five spice powder. The dressing is made primarily from plum sauce.

Seems like this entry was not updated properly, & another entry completed disappeared. I guesss I must have quit the browser by mistake. Sigh. Oh well, it was a Friday & it seems like it's the onnly day where all of us can have a common lunch break. So rather than compete with the lunchtime mad rush, we decided to eat outside of campus for a change in environment. Went to 907 coffeeshop, which is fast becoming out favourite haunt outside of school, in 2 nos cars because se7en & jasjas got drive today.

Zoom zoom, fast forward to the coffeeshop. Someone how suggested we have out own mini lou hei, so we asked what sizes does the yusheng come in & how much do they cost. the uncle said the small yushend cost 188. I was like WTF!!! got gold inside ah? He clarified that it cost 18.80sgd lah,. KNNCCB, say properly lah, not everyone understands your freaking lingo loh.

We also ordered an individual dish like hor fun or fried rice to complement the yusheng, & needless to say, afterlunch, we were stuffed. Hope we don't fall asleep in lecture later. Heez.
