My uncle and aunt were throwing us a treat for dinner at Public (Pusing) Restaurant in Ipoh town on the 1st night of CNY. This "Yee Sang" is a special dish on CNY. We can only have this in all the restaurant during CNY. It looks something like Chinese "rojak" with slices of carrots, cucumbers, green and purple vege, pieces of pomelos, sesame, crackers and slices of raw fish or jelly fish mixed together with sweet gravy.
The Chinese believes that the higher we grib and mix the dish with chopsticks, the better we are in the year. It brings wealth and prosperity to family and is good for those who run business too. That's why in Cantonese we call it "Lou Sang" ~ "Lou Dou Feng San Shui Hei".
