After reading 今天我们捞鱼生, S was keen to make a paper yusheng platter so I set up this #invitationtocreate tray for him. It wasn't easy for him to cut the thin strips and he was getting frustrated that his strips didn't look like the julienned vegetables in the book. I showed him how to hold the paper and how to cut close to the edge and I joined him in cutting to help grow the pile of strips as a form of encouragement. I also told him that he didn't have to finish it all in one sitting. Breaking up a task can make it less daunting and the child can return to it with renewed vigour. . We didn't manage to cut that many strips so the lohei was a rather subdued affair. 😂 I can't wait for my shredded paper package from @playlexue to arrive so we can do a proper messy lohei. Maybe on 人日? I am also looking forward to taking the kids out for a (real) 鱼生 meal because I love love love 鱼生. We tried the Ding Tai Fung yusheng last year and loved it. Any other recommendation? . . .

@themishmashmess Popular has been completely disappointing. I went to two different branches and there wasn't even a display of CNY books apart from one 团圆饭 cookbook.
