CNY 2021: Toss to good fortune with these 11 yusheng for all budgets

The Lunar New Year is fast approaching, and you’re already scrambling to round up the best yu sheng deals in town—because what’s the near year’s without a little lou hei action? Lucky for you, I’ve done all the research you’ll possibly need, and now’s a good time as any to start taking notes and placing your orders if you’re going to make full use of all these early bird discounts.

In this list of 11 yu sheng deals for all budgets, you’ll find whatever options you need—including something halal-friendly, organic, plant-based, over-the-top, and just a portion for one.


1. Peach Garden

Peach Garden

A household name when it comes to Cantonese restaurants, Peach Garden offers the loudest, most extra, and most over-the-top yu sheng this year, if you’re ever looking to usher 2021 with quite a literal bang. The “Heng Heng” Million Dollar Yu Sheng (百万捞生) (small at S$168++ for 4 pax, large at S$268++ for 8 to 10 pax) is a large golden dome encasing a bed of yu sheng ingredients that include only the most premium of toppings such as lobster, baby abalone, Wagyu beef, and salmon. There also exists a non-beef alternative with Australian scallops in place of Wagyu beef.

Cathartically make way for better vibes and positive energy in 2021 by smashing the dome open with a mini hammer, and watch the crackers shatter to reveal a colourful array of fresh ingredients as well as, wait for it, big sweep tickets. Like its namesake, you can hold out hope of getting extremely lucky this Lunar New Year if the fortune gods so shine upon you. 

Due to the logistics of the whole fanfare, the “Heng Heng” Million Dollar Yu Sheng is only available for dine-in customers, but the other yu sheng, pen cai, and prosperity packages are all available for takeaway and delivery on Peach Garden’s e-shop. Enjoy free delivery on your orders with a minimum spending of S$80, or top up S$10 of delivery fees.

Peach Garden has also added their own twist on the traditional pen cai by spicing it up with mala this year. The Premium Mala Seafood Pen Cai (麻辣海鲜盆菜) (S$428++ for small, S$668++ for large) comprises of lobster, red grouper, sea cucumber, Australian scallop, live prawn, fish maw, tien shin cabbage, gluten puff, radish, and king oyster mushroom that are infused with an in-house mala spice and layered upon one another for a medley of flavours.

Mìmì feels like every millennial’s secret find—a modern Chinese restaurant wedged in a 150-year-old riverhouse that’s one of the only two remaining conserved Chinese mansions in Singapore. The place oozes charm and personality that draws those near and far, curious for a taste of the oriental yet contemporary menu.

Adorned with baby abalone, fresh salmon, green radish, daikon, carrot, cornflakes, puff rice, fresh blueberries, crispy cracker, and chef’s secret sauce, the Mìmì Prosperity Abalone Yu Sheng with Salmon (S$68 for small, S$88 for large) is a great choice to toss to a new year.

It requires an advanced pre-order of minimum three days, and the small feeds four to six people, while the large feeds six to eight.

Established since 1963, Lai Wah Restaurant can be considered to be one of the OGs of traditional Chinese restaurants—and you’ve probably heard of it, that’s if you haven’t already visited yourself. Lai Wah keeps our wallets intact with budget-friendly yu sheng that starts at S$43 for medium (which feeds five to seven people), and S$80 for big (feeds eight to 10 people), available starting 30 January 2021.

In an effort to protect their customers from public health risks, and also in accordance with a joint news release by AVA , MOH and NEA, the restaurant will not be serving the typical raw fish to go with the dish, but instead abalone in place of it. To some, that might spell even better news. Addition abalones are available at S$16.
