It used to be that Yu Sheng, the Chinese New Year prosperity tossed salad platter, could only be found after the first few days of the new year. It's traditionally eaten on "Ren-ri", meaning Man's Birthday, which falls on the seventh day of the first lunar month. The whole of our company went to Laguna National Golf And Country Club to have our lunch.

The first dish was Yu Sheng, where we were told to start mixing the dish by tossing it in the air - the higher the better. It symbolises “May everyone here see their fortune rise higher with each toss.”

Take note, I was very carefully not to included my colleagues' faces is because I THINK they will make a mountain out of a mole hill if ever they found out about my blog.
