Yan Ting
The secret in Yan Ting’s yusheng deviates a little from the rest, where the sauces involved in the Prosperity Yu Sheng (with salmon or abalone of choice; from $78) includes the chef’s signature blend. It comprises fermented beancurd sauce, mayonnaise and garlic, while the sweet addition of sweet sauce made of plum, passion fruit, orange and apple adds balance to the taste. A vegetarian option is available, with sea coconut as the main topping ($68 for medium; $78 for large).

Monti
Monti’s yusheng presentation is a colorful array of the usual suspects, but not without the additions of salmon roe, carabinero prawns, and smoked salmon done carpaccio-style. The fruits – pomelo, mango, orange, sake, yuzu and mangosteen – are fashioned into molecular spheres, presenting a medley of colorful caviar on the platter.

Candlenut
In true Peranakan fashion, Candlenut adds Southeast Asian zest to its Yu Sheng “Lo Hei” Platter ($68++). Green mango slices are added to the assembly of candied fruits and vegetables, while arrowhead chips are thrown in for an added crunch. The homemade plum dressing is a little sweeter than most with the addition of gula melaka and ginger flower in its mix.

Blue Jasmine
Blue Jasmine is among the few that offers lobster in their yusheng platters this year. While smoked salmon options are available, the Fortune Yu Sheng with Lobster and Norwegian Smoked Salmon ($108 for small; $188 for large) introduces both. For those who seek to toss something a little lighter (in weight and not in fortune), a platter with the sole option of crispy fish skin is available ($58 for small; $88 for large).
