Lousang AKA

Yusheng, yee sang or yuu sahng (Chinese: 魚生; pinyin: yúshēng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: hî-seⁿ or hû-siⁿ), or Prosperity Toss, also known as lo hei (Cantonese for 撈起 or 捞起) is a Cantonese-style raw fish salad. It usually consists of strips of raw fish (sometimes salmon), mixed with shredded vegetables and a variety of sauces and condiments, among other ingredients. Yusheng literally means "raw fish" but since "fish (魚)" is commonly conflated with its homophone "abundance (余)", Yúshēng (魚生) is interpreted as a homophone for Yúshēng (余升) meaning an increase in abundance. Therefore, yusheng is considered a symbol of abundance, prosperity and vigor.

It's like our annual thing to do before CNY (Chinese New Year) or During CNY. This year around we wanna try something different, no more typical Chinese restaurant foods!

It's very hard to gather everyone together as everyone have their own schedule, but I am grateful that everyone can spare some time out just for this. Unfortunately, we are still missing 1 person as she has fallen sick just before the dinner. BOO HOOOOO (we video called her and make her sad!!! HAHAHAHAHHA)

We chosen to dine in S'mores Tropicana City Mall this year. Nothing fancy just to try something different for Lousang dinner.

We ordered foods to be shared among ourselves so everyone get to eat every dishes/foods we order.

Porky Platter - A platter consist of pork ribs, pork german sausage, siew york (roasted pork) and mashed potatoes. The siew york are the bomb! crispy skins with tender juicy meat and fat that melt in your mouth.

There will always have Lousang if not it will not consider as a Lousang dinner!

Lastly, a group photo is always a much! (someone left early due to personal matter)

Nice food, looks Yummy. So overall the food is nice? How's the portion ratio like? Hehe..

Thanks! Overall the food is good.
Other than the porky platter, the rest are suitable for moderate to big eater (2 bowl of rice type). The pizza might have to share unless you can finish 1 regular on your own lol
Apparently they are having promotion celebrating their anniversary 50% discount on all items, except for drinks. I think it end end of February.
