When it comes to once a year feasting, it is almost impossible to stand by my diet control programme, and it is almost impossible to promise that the feasting will only happen once a year - there's Mothers' Day and Christmas and all the birthdays and what nots...
Anyway, Chinese New Year Reunion dinner will not be complete without doing the Yee Sang, although traditionally done on the 7th night of new Lunar Year Calendar in remembrance of the creation of human in ancient Chinese folklore, we do it on this day because everybody gathers tonight.
So among the ingredients to make Yee Sang - Asrama Budi style...
Dried fish strips
Sea weed
Dried fish flavoured chilly satay
Purpule cabbage for colour contrast
Salmon sashimi in lemon juice
Jelly fish
And mom continued to cook for dinner too...
Deep fried pork in sweet and sour sauce
The sweet and sour sauce to go with the mentioned pork
Mixed vegetable cooked with seafood
Fish maw cooked in sweet plum sauce
More crabs
Clear soup
Boiled pork with special dip
Some vegetable leaves, taken before its cooked
Yee Sang, and some poses before mixing it...
When mixing using the chopsticks, it is said to bring it high up for prosperity and long life
The aftermath... squeaky clean plate is a good sign...
The real aftermath, taken as prophylaxis, in preparation for more feasting the nest day in Weston and Menumbok...
Eno Ginger - best taken after food, RM1 per packet at 7-Eleven
