My colleagues from overseas love to visit Malaysia during the Chinese New Year and always look forward to this Yee Sang dish.HappySurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444290549991093661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-64940913498371721852012-01-22T10:02:59.850+08:002012-01-22T10:02:59.850+08:00Rad, it's customs like this that keep traditio...Rad, it's customs like this that keep traditions alive. Chopsticks signify togetherness and they are to be used together, as a pair, never alone.<br /><br />Yes, oranges are a necessity during Chinese New Year and it is customary to present oranges (the very least) when we go visiting.HappySurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444290549991093661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-86953385087982775172012-01-22T09:03:04.996+08:002012-01-22T09:03:04.996+08:00I'm a day early - New Year itself is tomorrow,...I'm a day early - New Year itself is tomorrow, isn't it? - but Happy Chinese New Year, HappySurfer!<br /><br />PS: The food looks gorgeous.

Lupp the 8-10 dishes in restaurant but will cost a lot more during CNY. Even hawker stalls also seizing the opportunity to increase their price during CNY.இ Baŋäŋaz இhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03759912732442771311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-81490210189601667282012-01-21T13:26:57.085+08:002012-01-21T13:26:57.085+08:00I'm having a blast eating mandarin oranges! ;)...I'm having a blast eating mandarin oranges! ;)linahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17273605189937933589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-68908939200698756872012-01-21T13:12:01.764+08:002012-01-21T13:12:01.764+08:00there are just too many auspicious dishes that ori...there are just too many auspicious dishes that originates from the tradition as well as those "created" by innovative cook.. sometimes i do not know the story behind but since it's a tradition, we just follow.. but i guess "yee sang" is just available in MY/SG and nowhere else..[SK]https://www.blogger.com/profile/01863360136363789539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-4087779574296505452012-01-21T13:06:26.387+08:002012-01-21T13:06:26.387+08:00To me what is so interesting about Chinese people ...To me what is so interesting about Chinese people when it comes to gathering and eating at one big table is that they would place a big plate or bowl of food served to eat and would take them using their chopsticks hehehe. Just like in that photo in the middle. <br /><br />BTW, I just learned something from reading this post, that "Mandarin oranges and tangerines are a staple fruit during Chinese New Year. They symbolize gold, wealth and good fortune. In Cantonese, 'orange' and 'gold' have the same sound though they are written differently." <br /><br />No wonder so many mini oranges trees placed out side as decorationsRad Sujantohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12523193694925346122noreply@blogger.com
