Restaurant employees arrange an 88 kg plate of yusheng or raw fish decorated to mark the year of the monkey before a “lo hei” dinner ahead of the Lunar New Year in Singapore January 8, 2016. Yu sheng is served to raise “good luck” for the new year in a celebration known as “lo hei”, which is Cantonese for “to toss luck”. Participants will toss the shredded ingredients into the air with chopsticks while saying auspicious wishes aloud to mark the start of a prosperous new year. (Photo by Edgar Su/Reuters)
