Happy CNY!!

So we are about to celebrate the dawn of another year (reader: err I thought we already did, about a month ago?)
February 3 this year marks another year on the Chinese calendar, and this year we usher in the year of the rabbit, with 2011 being the year of the metal rabbit. If you are a believer of Feng Shui, head on here to see what the future holds for you. Otherwise, I would like to wish all our Chinese readers a happy and prosperous year ahead!

Speaking of prosperity, we had Yee Sang for lunch the other day - down the road at Kota Kemuning.
This dish is traditionally available during the new year and is symbolic of good luck, prosperity, health and all things auspicious.

The ingredients - err can you see the salmon?

You toss em and mix them up real good.

Apa lagi.. makan time!

Yes you (together with your friends / family members) need to mix the ingredients together and toss them up real high - the significance of the tossing is to wish for abundant luck and happiness for all.

Happy CNY to all!
