Following food ownership debates over bak kut teh and Hainanese chicken rice, the bone of contention this time is the popular Chinese New Year dish yusheng. The hullabaloo first erupted at the northern end of the Causeway earlier this month, when Singaporean celebrity foodie K.F. Seetoh first drew attention to a finance and accounting professor's Facebook page that revolved around local heritage. Writing in his weekly food column in The New Paper on Jan 3, Mr Seetoh noted Professor Tan Wee Cheng's list of six things in Singapore that he would like to see entered on Unesco's Intangible Cultural Heritage list. The items are the ritual and custom of serving yusheng, Singapore cuisine, Singlish, Nine Emperor Gods Festival, the yumseng ritual in weddings and getai performances. Yusheng is a raw fish salad served in a predetermined sequence, with the server reciting wishes of luck and prosperity evoked by the names of the ingredients used. But Prof Tan's suggestion quickly sparked strong protests from across the Causeway after it was reported in the Malaysian media, which is believed to have picked up Mr Seetoh's column. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yusheng Yusheng, yee sang or yuu sahng (Chinese: 鱼生; pinyin: y Edited January 30, 2012 by Acemundo ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acemundo Supercharged January 30, 2012 Author Share January 30, 2012 haha........i was reading the wiki contribution about it originating from singapore, malaysia or china. while there were identities associated with the saying of origin in singapore, the saying of it originating from malaysia and china had no names associated with it. the malaysian ones, even had links to umno winning the election which logically sounds bit far fetched since yu sheng are favorites of chinese.

Lala81 Hypersonic August 15, 2015 Share August 15, 2015 Before the invention of antibiotics in the 20th century, people frequently died of bacteria infection. The overuse of antibiotics creating antibiotic resistance is going to kill lots of people in the 21st century. But that's humans for you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
