SEAToday.com, Jakarta - Hari Raya Imlek tak lengkap tanpa beberapa makanan khas yang tidak sekadar pengisi perut. Makanan-makanan berikut ini juga memiliki makna bagi masyarakat Tionghoa. 

Imlek tahun 2024 jatuh pada Sabtu (10/2/2024) besok. Namun kemeriahannya sudah terasa sejak beberapa hari sebelumnya. 

Di pecinaan Glodok misalnya, masyarakat sudah berburu keperluan Imlek, mulai dari amplop untuk angpao, dan tentu saja makanan khas. Dilansir dari beberapa sumber, berikut beberapa makanan yang biasa disajikan ketika Imlek.

Kue Keranjang 

Kue berbahan dasar tepung ketan dan gula merah ini dikenal pula dengan nama “Nian Gao”. Kue keranjang melambangkan rezeki berlimpah dan keberuntungan untuk keluarga yang menyajikannya. 

Jeruk Mandarin

Seperti kue keranjang, jeruk mandarin juga melambangkan kemakmuran dan kesejahteraan. Lewat jeruk mandarin, masyarakat Tionghoa berharap kemakmuran dan kebahagiaan bagi sanak saudara mereka.

Yu Sheng

Yu Sheng adalah makanan yang terdiri dari ikan segar yang dilengkapi dengan sayur seperti wortel atau lobak. Biasanya, ikan yang digunaka n adalah salmon atau tuna.

Saat Imlek, masyarakat Tionghoa lazimnya menyantap yu sheng bersama dengan sanak saudara. Kegiatan ini dinamakan lo hei.

Lumpia goreng 

Makanan lain yang biasa muncul saat Imlek adalah lumpia goreng atau chun juan. Chun juan terbuat dari kulit lumpia yang diisi sayuran, daging, atau isian manis.

Kulit lumpia yang telah diisi tersebut kemudian digoreng hinga kuning keemasan. Makanan ini, menurut orang Tionghoa mirip seperti emas.

Karena itulah, memakan lumpia goreng dipercaya sebagai sebuah pengharapan untuk makmur.
