Loh Hei at Mayflower

On the seventh day of CNY, which is considered as the birthday of all human beings, the Chinese partakes in a dish called yee sang, a simple mixture of thin slices of raw fish, shredded vegetables, herbs and sauces.


All the ingredients for the dish are presented separately on the same plate, and would then be tossed and mixed, carried with chopsticks high in the air by all at the table, while saying out loud the word loh hei, which means liveliness, prosperity and longevity.

Mayflower had her Loh Hei when school reppened after the long Chinese New Year weekend.

Mdm Ham from the mother tongue department was on hand to explain the cultural aspect of this Chinese tridtions to the teachers.
