This is a traditional salad toss that started here in Singapore. It is called Toss of Fortune because it is supposed to bring good fortune to who ever participates. So most all businesses here have a Toss of Fortune lunch outing to bring good fortune to the company. Travis took part in a salad toss 3 times because of business outings! I was glad to get the opportunity to see and participate in the salad toss at this CNY party. What happens is all the guests stand around and watch the host put each ingredient on the salad while the host states the meaning of each, all having to do with different aspects of fortune. Then we all gather around the salad and toss (mix) it with our chop sticks. It was really fun to take part in such a different tradition! The salad even tastes good!
