This is the first of a series of Loh Sang sessions our
family will be participating in. The Yee Sang, or Prosperity Toss is a
Teochew-style raw fish salad. It usually consists of strips of raw fish (most
commonly salmon), mixed with shredded vegetables and a variety of sauces and
condiments, among other ingredients. It literally means "raw fish" but
may also bring the meaning of an increase in abundance. Therefore, yee sang is
considered a symbol of abundance, prosperity and vigour.
We had the pleasure of participating in this Loh Sang
session courtesy of Vincent’s parents, Uncle Peter and Auntie Amy. So without
further ado, let’s allow our pictures do the talking for us...
