As we prepare to usher in the year of the Tiger, there is no better way to manifest some good fortune than to lo hei (tossing up of good fortune) with loved ones. A key fixture in every reunion dinner, it’s understandable to want to spice things up a bit with gorgeous Yusheng platters that promise more than supermarket-bought ones.

For the upcoming Chinese New Year, we have collated a list of seven at all price points. From DIY Yu Sheng to ones with black caviar and Canadian lobsters, these options will look delightful on your dining table come late January.
