Yee Sang Session 001.

The girls and I been planning a-get-together for the past month and we finally got to meet up for dim sum lunch at one of our all time favourite restaurant called "Shanghai," at JW Marriott. Since CNY is around the corner, we decided to have a 'lil "yee sang" session."Yee Sang" means a kind of raw fish salad and it's considered a symbol of good luck and prosperity. Traditionally, "yee sang" is served during the seventh day of CNY however as time goes by, we now would serve this dish prior and during CNY.
