A Celebration with a Tossing of Yee Sang

Meeting up with close friends over a close door celebration can be very special and recently I received a speechless invitation. A small gathering but came with great company and fabulous Chinese cuisine. This time we tried out the Chinese New Year dishes at The Emperor Restaurant at Grand Dorsett Subang. I was totally speechlessly hooked with delight.

A Prosperity Yee Sang top with Sliced Hamachi Australian Yellow Tail, Salmon and Canada Surf Clam

To start with we had a large plate of Yee Sang that came with sliced hamachi Australian yallow tail, thick sliced salmon and large Canada surf clams. It was a colourful platter covered with lots of goodies such as thinly sliced red carrot, pomalo rinds, pickle ginger, crackers, green carrots, jelly fish and many more ingridients being spread out on the platter. One all the ingredients are properly placed, the ritual of pouring the sweet sauce starts, we had the specially prepared Thai sauce. Now it’s ready for the chopstick tossing ‘lou hei’ to a year filled with wealth, health and prosperity. I just love the crunchy texture and with the present of the Canada Surf Clams truly make a huge difference, so was the soft smotth texture fo the Hamachi and salmon. Lovely! I was truly enjoyed!

During every Chinese New Year, having a festive dish with dried oyster is a must and indulging the stewed black moss is a must as we believe it will bring prosperity and fortune.
