After all the visits, it is almost 7.15pm, we were looking for a place to eat but most of the restaurants were closed and I checked out Aman Suria, Sunwaymas , Taman Megah and finally I found Restaurant Sam Yu @ SS 3 open for business. As we were still quite full, we ordered just 6 simple dishes.

For Malaysian Chinese, all New Year feasts start with the ubiquitous yee sang, a dish peculiar only to this region. I remember how some friends from Hong Kong were stumped when asked to partake in the loh sang (tossing) ritual. Yee sang is a salad dish of raw fish, finely shredded carrots, turnips with pomelo, pickles and crisps tossed with a piquant plum dressing. Diners do the tossing at the table, loudly shouting "loh hei, loh hei" to indicate success and liveliness.

Yee Sang, a must during CNY lunch or dinner.
