Yu Sheng - my family's style xD

chinese new year is almost over! so i realised i had to absolutely churn out this post before next monday :P lol.

does this look anything like yu sheng? i guess not. but it was inspired by a fruit yu sheng that my extended family ate at a restaurant in malacca this year! it was a really interesting take on yu sheng, and we absolutely loved it. which is why we tried to re-create it at home, and ta-da! there you go :) our home-style fruit yu sheng :D whee!

we used grapes, mandarin oranges, apples, pineapples and peaches! and instead of raw fish, we topped it off with a can of abalone we had at home instead xD for the sauce, we made some sort of lime-juice which we drizzled liberally on top of our concoction. and it was so delicious! :) a blend of tangy and sweet tastes, with a variety of textures. it was fresh and served as the perfect appetizer before our steamboat. yummy!
