Been pending to draft it, and type it into WordPress. Was written in the notepad for the past month.
First time this year, I’ve enjoying more “yee sang” or “lou sang” than I expected. This is because I would say that it takes me more than 3 times for that event.
The first session started earlier with my bunch of colleagues. We had a buffet lunch at Jogoya. They provided us a “yee sang” at the end of the feasting if we had a minimum number of 8 pax. It is one of the best because we can top up the salmon up to our liking. At the end, it ended up covering the entire dish. Thinking about it now makes me salivating….
The second time was having it with the bunch of bloggers. The usual gang namely Linpeh, 9393, Angel, Wingz, Huei, Boredworkers, JKN, Kenny Ng and Young Man AceOne HamHai. During this session, we have the performance from the YMCA AceOne. On top of that, we got LinPeh to become our lead singer while the rest acted as the groupie behind, known as the doggies…. Tell you what, we are going to participate in the Gang Starz – to be the best in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Some say… Hattyai too. Let me present you… “Linpeh and the Doggies”. Err, photos are not allowed as it will affected our images.
Almost forgot, that after the bloggers session which is 2nd session, I was having it with my boss and colleagues during lunch time the next day. It was because boss kept saying that he haven’t yet to lou sang despite the Chinese New Year is around the corner. Having it at a nearby economical restaurant. We are footing dutch. =.=’
The fourth session was an impromptu session with couples of ex-colleagues from previous employment. They also bringing their friends along too to make the number. Too less doesn’t justify for a “lou sang” coz by going 8 pax, it’s auspicious enough. This round it was far more cheaper as we were ordering the ala carte instead. I was too hungry as we reached at “Tung Jing” around 8pm. Really late for dinner time. Mind you. I didn’t manage to capture the “yee sang” dish this time around.
The next day, I had another dinner session with Latkyok friends. These are the annual LatKyok New Year Dinner. Organized by Dan, we gathered at Crystal Palm in Jalan Ipoh on the 6th of CNY. This time is slightly costly due to the fact that the food is way…. delicious. Nice and it comes with plenty of abalone strip in the “yee sang”.
The sixth session was with my Setapakians but due to the arrangement, we had it at the Ship. It wasn’t a good atmosphere because it is really a western style. The lunch wasn’t as expected because we are having western food. Maybe next time lah coz’ we haven’t been meet up like this for the last 7 years.
The seventh session was with my college friends. We had it at the Six Happiness, Setapak. For quite some time haven’t seen them, it was a nice and good get together. Likewise, I forgotten to capture the “yee sang” dish.
Last, but not least was the final session with my company principal. She say that she lastly recalled that she haven’t actually had the opportunity to have a “yee sang” with my colleagues and I. It was kind of rush and last minute thing. Here’s the pic.
A short info on the “yee sang” one might asked. Please read exerpt from the wikipedia for more info. Here’s the excerpt.
Yusheng or yee sang (Chinese: 鱼生; pinyin: yúshÄ“ng) is a Chinese-style raw fish salad. It usually consists of strips of raw fish (most commonly salmon), mixed with shredded vegetables and a variety of sauces and condiments, among other ingredients. Literally translated, “yusheng” means “raw fish”, though it can also be taken to symbolise abundance, prosperity and vigor.
