Chinese New Year (CNY) is approaching us in less than a week, what have you planned to do during these period of time. As a chinese, it is a tradition for me to at least go Chinatown once for my CNY shopping, if not to enjoy the CNY light-up features. This year I was very blessed to be invited to a Super Reunion Dinner at the Chinatown Food Street with many other bloggers.
Smacked right at smith street, Chinatown Food Street is a foodie paradise for local delights with seating capacity to over 800!
Best of all, with the newly constructed high-ceiling glass canopy shelter and internal spot cooling system, diners get to enjoy the hawker affair regardless of rain or shine. 😉
How can one miss Yu Sheng (鱼生), a symbol of abundance and prosperity, during CNY? We started with the Yu sheng (Small- $28, Large- $38) from Chinatown Crab Master. Interestingly, there is an instruction menu given to state the steps and the meaning of the Yu Sheng. Personally I find the instructions for the Yu Sheng very useful for tourists to understand the meaning of Yu Sheng better and also for me to know what to say during the Lou Hei ( the act of tossing the Yu Sheng for good luck).

Although my team did not win the food trail, I had fun looking for food among hawker stalls which take form of street carts. I was actually kinda happy that food located all over Singapore can be found at the food street. At least, I know where can I go if I want to satisfy my craving from several different part of Singapore. Chinatown Food Street would be my one stop solution and dishes are priced from $2.50 up. 😉
