One of the traditional dishes served during Chinese New Year get-togethers is Lo Hei.
It's like a salad, but with the addition of raw fish like Salmon. It has different options for the dressing, but the more popular one is a sweet and sour, vinaigrette type of sauce that you pour over it.
After the sauce has been poured, the people around the table do what is called as the "Prosperity Toss."
They all toss the salad together, and the belief is that the higher you toss it, the more good luck everyone gets.
It's been 4 years since I've last had Lo Hei, which was in SG. I've never tried looking for Lo Hei in MNL, although given the number of Cantonese restaurants here, maybe there's one that serves it.
Hey, I should look for that.
