Recently I took my korean friends to lunch at Emperor's Court Hua Ho Mall. Since the days are close to Chinese New Year, I thought it would be a good idea to get them to try Yee Sang. He used to live in Beijing and I thought he would be familiar to this dish. Apparently he told me that in Beijing, they served dumplings for good luck during the Chinese New Year. So, this was a new experience for him.
So, what is Yee Sang? It's a cold salad dish with smoked salmon and salad. Lemon juice are squeezed all over it and five spice powder are poured on top, together with some light oil and plum sauce.
As a matter of tradition, the diners have to tossed the salad together for goodwill and prosperity. The higher you toss it, the better prosperity you will get. Oh well! some of us will believe that. For me, it was out of fun and knowing it as part of my knowledge.

If you are interested to try, go and bring the whole family and try it out. I think the promotion is for a limited period only. Good luck!
