If you haven’t bought an Yu Sheng or are unable to reserve one because it is sold out, fear not! The Meatmen has the perfect solution for you! Pomelo Salad – ???? is an awesome alternative, it is super simple to make and definitely budget friendly! Also, with the covid-19 restrictions, Singaporeans aren’t allowed to shout auspicious phrases when doing the prosperity toss. So, this might just be the next best alternative yet! Did you know that eating pomelo during CNY actually symbolises good luck and prosperity?
Feel free to tweak this salad to your own preference and add your favourite vegetables as well as salmon sashimi if you like!
From The Meatmen, wishing everybody a big auspicious luck – ???? Chinese New Year!
