In Singapore, the Chinese New Year's Eve must have raw fish.
The countdown to the Lunar New Year begins, Chinese people around the world are immersed in a strong festive atmosphere, although the celebration customs in different places are different, but Chinese New Year's Eve rice is recognized as the main event, good wine and good food, only then has a sense of ritual for the New Year. And Singapore's Chinese New Year's Eve rice must have fish raw, and it is difficult for people who have not been to Singapore to know what fish fishing is.
I hadn't heard of it before, but I came and ate it before I understood that it was actually a dish. But the point is to fish, in fact, is an action, the taste is not important, the main thing is the entertainment of fishing, the meaning is full of water.
My daughter-in-law prepares this dish every year Chinese New Year's Eve rice, the main ingredients are: salmon sashimi, with various colors of shredded vegetables, such as shredded lettuce, shredded carrot, shredded white radish, shredded green radish, etc., plus crushed peanuts, cooked sesame seeds, thin crispy slices, and drizzled with sweet and sour sauce..., which is actually a salad.
All the people at the table got up, scooped up the dishes with chopsticks, and shouted: "Fish! Hair! "Everyone is fishing higher and higher, which means rising step by step, and they don't mind catching a table full of "materials", which means "gold everywhere", and good luck overflows!
Singaporean Chinese basically catch fish in Chinese New Year's Eve meal, like a sign of good luck and happiness in the new year.
May the year of the rabbit catch fish and fish, catch the wind and water, be healthy and safe, and prosperous!
I wish you all a prosperous Year of the Rabbit! Happy and happy! #Love for China Year # #天南地北大拜年 #
