Let's Lohei is the tenth book in the SINGAPO: Discovering Chinese Singaporean Culture series. It tells an interesting story about a well-off family that gathered to lohei during Chinese New Year. According to Singaporean Chinese New Year customs, relatives and friends would gather to toss yusheng on the seventh day of the first lunar month. The young boy did not understand the tradition. He mistook the shredded vegetables for noodles and almost finished eating all the raw fish before the elders could participate in tossing the yusheng. Fortunately, the elders in the family patiently explained the tradition to the young boy and answered his questions. He finally understood the lohei tradition.
