Toss up some drama at the start of a family reunion dinner
Remember how as kids, we ignored the gross shredded vegetables to pick out all the crackers when it came to yu sheng? Well, time flies, taste buds have matured and you are old. Yu sheng's amalgamation of the strikingly colourful ingredients that was loathed before, we now love and actually look forward to when the Lunar New Year comes striding in.
But if this customary dish ever starts losing its appeal, we have compiled a list of 10 yu sheng that sport a creative twist to make your mouth water once more.

6. The Summerhouse Farmers’ Yu Sheng ($68/ $88/ $108)
It is always heartening to see local entities banding together to produce something 100% Singaporean. And The Summerhouse reflects this very ethos by reaching out to farms from across the nation to offer its Farmers’ Yusheng for Lunar New Year, available from 16 February to 3 March. Harvested from local farms, a medley of greens makes up this customary dish, featuring pickled beetroot, fermented carrots, and butterhead lettuce are from Oh Chin Huat Farm, and even suspects of blue pea flowers handpicked from The Summerhouse’s edible garden. The local pride still blazes on with the accompanying sea bass fished from the kelong of Seafood Culture. The edible garden for a yu sheng is served with passionfruit and earl grey hollandaise sauce to sweeten the new year.
