Healthy Yu Sheng
No Chinese New Year is complete without Yu Sheng! In fact, during the last few days, I have been eating dish after dish of Yu Sheng.
Although after a while, Yu Sheng tends to taste rather similar but there has been a secret ingredient that has whet my appetite for the dish.
Normally, everyone put crackers into Yu Sheng.
However, with the current emphasis on calories, this deep fried delicacy seems to be rather dangerous for one’s waistline.
However, today, I discovered a even more tasty alternative and a slightly healthier substitute. Introducing…
Yes…Honey Gold Flakes!
This breakfast cereal is a great alternative to the normal deep fried crackers that we put in our Yu Sheng!
The honey flakes really adds to the dish, and my friends and I could not stop anything the flakes as it was mixed into the salad! 🙂
Try this tasty alternative before CNY ends! 🙂
P.S – If you are looking for a great place to buy cheap Yu Sheng, the place is not NTUC!
In fact, you should be looking for the wholesaler, who let you choose how much of the various ingredients you want! With its lower prices, you are guaranteed a larger haul of vegetables when you buy your Yu Sheng from this shop! 🙂
We went to:
Kwong Cheong Thye Pte Ltd
61-63 Lor 27 Geylang off Sims Avenue
Tel: 67480128
Just next to Aljunied MRT station (It’s just behind a row of shops).
This shop is a treasure trove. During CNY, they sell all the Yu Sheng condiments in various quantities. This includes pre-pack for 2 pax, 4 pax, 6 pax, 10 pax, or ala carte packets. I saw a 1kg packet of crushed peanuts and Sesame Seeds!
They also have different soup bases for steamboat! When it’s Mid-Autumn festival, they sell pastes for mooncakes! 🙂
