Why is everyone talking about abacus beads?

Why is everyone talking about Seng House’s abacus beads this Chinese New Year?

Some dishes only come once a year — and this one carries history on every bite.

This Chinese New Year, Seng House unveils its first-ever hand-rolled Hakka abacus beads, crafted specially for reunion season. Not factory-made. Not rushed. But patiently rolled, piece by piece — the way heritage dishes were meant to be.

Their Prosperity Abacus Treasure Plate is special for the season: chewy yam abacus beads tossed with tiger prawns, dried scallops, preserved radish, shiitake mushrooms, and pops of chilli. Comforting, nostalgic, and deeply festive.

To complete the spread, Seng House leans into what they think is best.

The Golden Reunion Pork Platter pairs crispy roast pork belly with rich Spanish pork jowl, lifted by their signature lime chilli and pickled green mango.

And for family-friendly feasting, the Five Blessings Golden Platter delivers crowd-pleasers — prawn cheese balls, chicken nuggets, onion rings, ika karaage, and fish fingers — all made for sharing.

With more reunions happening at home, Seng House makes festive takeaway feel intentional, thoughtful, and full of heart. Flavours that are brought straight to your reunion table.

The Chinese New Year menu is available now until the 15th day of the Lunar New Year. Order early and bring this once-a-year heritage feast home.

... Read moreHaving tried Seng House's abacus beads myself, I can say the care in hand-rolling each piece truly makes a difference in texture and flavor. These abacus beads are made from yam and have a unique chewiness that's perfect for soaking up the rich flavors of the prawns, dried scallops, and preserved radish. What stood out to me was how this traditional dish connects people through shared memories, especially during Chinese New Year reunions. Pairing it with the Golden Reunion Pork Platter, featuring crispy roast pork belly and Spanish pork jowl with their signature lime chili and pickled green mango, creates a balanced and festive meal that delights every palate at the table. For families with kids, the Five Blessings Golden Platter offers a crowd-pleasing variety with prawn cheese balls, chicken nuggets, and onion rings, making the whole feast inclusive and exciting. Ordering early is essential because Seng House offers this menu only until the 15th day of the Lunar New Year. Bringing home these thoughtfully prepared dishes turns any family gathering into a meaningful celebration of heritage, flavor, and togetherness.

What I learnt from my mentor @teacher_luxia is that children and young teens carry a strong pure positive energy. And unethical spiritual practitioners who want to have a shortcut to elevate their energy levels may choose to siphon these energies from the youth as with this unfortunate case.
