Lohei - A humble 2,000-year-old Chinese New Year tradition

Our Way of Celebrating Togetherness, Tossing Up Abundance

The loud, joyous, and colourful tradition of lohei, or the tossing of raw fish salad, is a boisterous Chinese New Year highlight in Singapore. Every ingredient has a symbolic, auspicious phrase to be exclaimed as it is added to the salad, and diners often toss the salad as high as possible into the air to welcome greater abundance and prosperity (read the symbolism here:- www.roots.gov.sg/stories-landing/stories/Lohei )
