Chinese New Year (CNY) is a time for families to come together and celebrate the arrival of a new year filled with prosperity, joy, and good fortune.
At JU Signatures, we take pride in offering a selection of dishes that not only honour tradition but elevate the celebration with modern twists.
This year, we invite you to indulge in a sumptuous CNY feast that features both timeless favourites and innovative creations, all designed to bring blessings to your family and friends.
1. Salted Egg Fried Fish Skin
A beloved snack that has quickly become a CNY staple, Salted Egg Fried Fish Skin is the perfect balance of crispy, savoury, and indulgent.
Coated in a rich, golden salted egg yolk sauce, this dish combines the crunch of fried fish skin with the smooth, creamy texture of the salted egg, offering a delectable treat that’s sure to be a hit at any gathering.
Fish is a symbol of abundance in Chinese culture, and this dish is an auspicious start to any meal, bringing prosperity and good fortune.
2. ‘Reunion’ Abalone Yu Sheng
No CNY celebration is complete without the famous Yu Sheng, a raw fish salad that is traditionally tossed for good luck and prosperity.
At JU Signatures, we elevate this tradition with our ‘Reunion’ Abalone Yu Sheng, featuring fresh, tender slices of abalone.
Abalone is a prized delicacy in Chinese cuisine, symbolising wealth and status, making this dish an excellent choice for those looking to enjoy a truly luxurious and meaningful celebration.
Tossing the Yu Sheng with family and friends while chanting auspicious phrases is a time-honoured tradition that signifies the collective hope for a prosperous year ahead.
3. ‘Reunion’ Smoked Salmon Yu Sheng
For a contemporary twist on the classic, we present our ‘Reunion’ Smoked Salmon Yu Sheng.
The silky-smooth smoked salmon adds a delicate richness to the salad, while the tangy dressing and vibrant vegetables offer a refreshing contrast.
Like its abalone counterpart, this dish is meant to be tossed with family and friends, symbolising unity, prosperity, and good health.
Whether you prefer the traditional abalone or the smoked salmon version, both Yu Sheng options are sure to enhance your CNY feast with their unique flavours and symbolic significance.
4. Other Famous Traditional Dishes
While Salted Egg Fried Fish Skin and Yu Sheng are essential highlights of any CNY spread, no feast would be complete without other beloved dishes that have become synonymous with the festive season.
At JU Signatures, we also offer a range of traditional dishes that bring comfort and joy to the table, such as:
- Nian Gao (Glutinous Rice Cake): A symbol of progress and growth, this sticky rice cake is traditionally served to bring about an increase in wealth and career advancement.
- Steamed Whole Fish: Often served with the head and tail intact, the whole fish symbolises unity and completeness, as well as an abundant year ahead.
- Braised Pork with Abalone and Mushrooms: A luxurious dish that embodies richness and prosperity, often served as a symbol of good fortune and a wish for a prosperous year.
