#2 Chopsuey Cafe - Chinese New Year set for 2 to 5 pax, including Lo Hei and dessert, $148 - $488

Yu Sheng is perhaps one of the most intricate Chinese New Year dishes to make, so even if you’re cooking, you might want to opt for takeaway for this.

As part of their Chinese New Year menu, Genki Sushi has two types of Yu Sheng available: one with abalone and one with salmon sashimi.
Available at all Genki Sushi outlets from 11am to 9:30pm.
