A Twist on the Toss
Long Beach Seafood Restaurant proposes a sweet surprise alongside the traditional yusheng to usher in the Year of the Tiger
As ubiquitous as receiving hongbaos and offering mandarin oranges, lohei is an activity you won’t want to miss out on when indulging in Lunar New Year celebrations. Get together with friends and family for a festive toss and toast to one another’s good health, wealth and prosperity at the iconic Long Beach Seafood Restaurant, which offers a vibrant yusheng selection.
The raw fish dish has long surpassed its humble origins, evolving over the years as new and personalised elements are added to amplify the auspiciousness of this mainstay during the festive period. And so it is with Long Beach’s fruits yusheng (pre‑order only), which comes with your pick of an array of seasonal fresh fruits that not just lend colour and nuanced flavours to the dish, but also carry symbolic meanings. Mango, for instance, represents prosperity, abundance and richness, while dragon fruit, which recalls a dragon with its red skin and green scales, is associated with power, vitality and good luck.
Prefer something classic? You can always fall back on the restaurant’s signature abalone conch yusheng, which hits all the right notes with its assortment of shredded vegetables and condiments teamed with a unique house‑made sauce and tender abalone conch.
With a reputation for serving up some of the best crab dishes in Singapore alongside a selection of the finest seafood, Long Beach also has plenty to offer to supplement your festive meal. Classic and familiar but also modern and inventive, each stellar seafood and non‑seafood dish is set to impress locals and visitors alike.
Four Long Beach outlets present different settings for your meal, but for those looking to keep things a little more private, opt for the adaptable VIP rooms, which have been tastefully decorated with touches of red and gold for a celebratory vibe.
