HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVERYBODY. Today is also known as "YAN YAT' DAY. I will just cook normal dishes like any other normal days today. haha. What does "yee sang" means? To me it means "raw fish" from direct translation to english. Yee means fish and sang means raw. In Bahasa Malaysia is ikan mentah. haha. It also means "Lou Sang" for prosperity and good luck.Once upon a time, the Chinese used to celebrated this day with the family members only on the seventh day each year of Chinese New Year but nowadays there are so many places selling yee sang, restaurants and even the supermarkets. You can also make your own yee sang recipe. Yee sang contains around twenty or so with colourful ingredients. However, I do not know how to make yee sang as there are lots of preparation involved though people say it is easy to make.
When the people who are dining together eat yee sang they will call out as loud as they can with good words for prosperity as a start of the year. There is also a saying that the higher you toss the food the better luck it will be for the year. The tradition of eating yee sang started many many years ago.
Guess that would be about all for now as I have to rush to make breakfast for them. Left over curry gravy with toast. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN.
