Singaporeans: The Lo Hei Yee Sang is Singaporean kayh. Malaysians: 🤬
Other than the big dinner reunion, lion dances, ang paos and mandarin oranges, one thing that defines Chinese New Year here in Malaysia is Yee Sang.
Where did it come from? Yee Sang originally came from China as just a dish of raw fish called Yusheng, eaten with side dishes separately. It was brought to Malaya by Cantonese and Hokkien immigrants in the late 1800s onwards but the traditional Yusheng was not popular at that time. He also did it banquet style and people loved it as they could eat it in a big crowd with a joyous atmosphere. His plan worked and around the 1960s, people would come from all over Malaya to try Loke Ching Kee Yee Sang in Seremban.
The tossing part was also the same as the Malaysian theory. The customers did it by themselves, and none of the chefs taught them to do so.
