How to Lo Hei Yu Sheng 捞起魚生 this CNY?

How was your Lunar New Year??? How many Yusheng have you eaten so far?

Two more days (25th Feb 2015) is the 7th day of the Lunar New Year and it is known as Renri (人日, literally Human Day). It is usually on this day, that the tossing of the Yusheng (Lo-Hei Yu Sheng 捞起魚生) is particularly significant (especially for the Cantonese). Yusheng is a salad dish comprising thin slices of raw fish and various spices, mixed as diners toss the ingredients together. Nowaday people have Yusheng not only on Renri but on any day during Lunar New Year. Like myself I had already six Yusheng!!!

Where did I buy this Yusheng?

You can get this Magni-­‐fish-­‐cent Yusheng at 
all Fish & Co. restaurants from 5 February – 5 March 2015. 

They are one of my favorite!!! =)

Fish & Co.’s Magni-­‐fish-­‐cent Yusheng serves 8 – 10 persons and retails at an amazing S$36.80.

Add on just $8.80 for a double portion of salmon and prawns 

 Receive Fish & Co. Prosperity Red Packets with every purchase of Fish & Co.’s Magni-­‐fish-­‐cent Yusheng! 

Yes, trust your good fortune, a whopping portion at only $36.80 (so fin-­‐tabulous I had to mention it again)! 

That's not all!!! Did I forgot to mention they even provide me the media kit on how to Lou Hei.

This is EXTRA HELPFUL to people like me who
don't know how to Lou Hei.

Step 1- Place the Yusheng on the table. (To Exclaim: 恭喜发财, 万事如)

Step 2- Add in Salon & Prawn Slices (To Exclaim: 年年有馀 Nian Nian You Yu)

Step 3- Squeeze lime wedge and sprinkle over the salmon and prawn slices.

Step 4- Sprinkle pepper and cinnamon powder (To Exclaim: 招财进宝 Zhao cai jin bao)

Step 5- Sprinkle crackers (To exclaim: 黄金满地 Huang Jing Man Di)

Step 6- Pour oil/ plum sauce over ingredients. (To exclaim: 甜甜蜜蜜 Tian Tian Mi Mi, 财原广进 Cai yuan guang jin)

 Step 7- Proceed to toss the 鱼生 with shouts of auspicious wishes.

So here we GO!!!

  HUAT AH!!! 

HUAT AH!!! 

HUAT AH!!!

Sandra Ng’s transformed into a man with 8 pack abs for her new movie- 12 Golden Ducks!!!

Still remember Sandra Ng with her 38G fake breast for her movie- Golden Chickensss?

This time round in her latest movie- 12 Golden Ducks, 

you will see her transforming into a muscular guy with 8 pack abs!

and the RESULT!!!

Haven't seen Sandra Ng so manly and muscular before... =P

Video of Sandra Ng’s Transformation into a Man

Following the phenomenal box office success of Golden Chickensss that grossed over HK$40 millions in its 2014 Chinese New Year release, Director Matt Chow and Actress-Producer Sandra Ng have teamed up once again to create another Hong Kong classic: 12 Golden Ducks. 

Combining elements of comedy, romance and action, 12 Golden Ducks is a comeback story about the misadventures of a group of gigolos (referred to in local vernacular as “ducks”) trying to make their mark in Hong Kong. 

As with any profession,they have all suffered their share of setbacks.But their ability to find laughter within the tears reflects the drive, passion and the indomitable spirit of the Hong Kong people.

Movie Review:

Personally I enjoyed laughing throughout the whole movie. There wasn't any anti-climate in the movie. Sandra's acting her role as a man was really good! And her body looked really hot for a man! 

 And for one ticket price and you will be able to catch many star-studded cast in the movie, 

Sandra Ng 吳君如, 

Anthony Wong 黃秋生 , 

Louis Koo 古天乐, 

Wilfred Lau 刘浩龙 , 

Simon Yam 任达华, 

Ivana Wong 王菀之, 

Philip Keung 姜皓文, 

Joey Yung 容祖儿,

Definitely a great movie to watch with your family, friends and loved one and laugh all out this Lunar New Year!
