2. Hokkien prawn mee  

Hokkien mee is a cuisine that typically consists of fried spherical wheat noodles and thinner rice noodles with prawns, pork,  eggs, and bean sprouts.  All of the components are stir-fried in a fragrant stock of prawns, pork, and other sorts of seafood.  Fish cakes, squids, prawns, spring onions, pig fat (optional), and chives are common additions, with sambal sauce with lemon on the dish. 

3. Yusheng  

Yusheng is a delectable salad made with pieces of fresh fish and chopped veggies that are prepared with spices and other toppings like nuts and bean sprouts and are typically enjoyed during Chinese New Year celebrations.  The meal is also seasoned with yusheng sauce, which is often made of plum sauce and sesame oil.  As the first course of a multi-course meal, Yusheng is often served as an appetiser.  The items are presented unusually when placed on the plates, with those gathered around the table.
