Rainbow Salad aka Yee Sang

Chinese New Year speciality dish - Yee Sang or Rainbow Salad.

Consists of all raw and pickled veggies and the hero - raw salmon tossed in a plum sauce making this not just a very colourful dish but delicious, light and refreshing!!! 
The more you eat and toss over the festive season, you will prosper more and more and it is a fun way to get family and friends together to share a meal and I am sure everyone could do with some kind of good luck/fortune!!!
One of many platters I prepared over CNY 2015


Pomelo - a must have ingredient in the Yee Sang salad


I like to add yam bean/bang kuang to my rainbow salad - sweet and crunchy texture

After tossing - all ingredients mixed up and looks so colourful!!!


Toss Toss Toss - the higher you toss, the better luck & prosperity etc!

This dish was from Rasa Malaya in Doncaster

Lots of fine slicing and luckily for me I have this contraption that does a marvellous job!

Another one of my many Yee Sang platters alaSim

Roti Jala

Roti Jala - Malaysian lacy pancakes

I used a water bottle with 3 holes in the cap, filled with jala batter and squeezed it onto pan


Roti Jala served with chicken curry
Chicken Curry in the making ...

Roti Jala - a nice compliment as a side dish filler with satay on this occasion!

Had these pixs sitting in my draft box for ages now, so I better get my act together.

Remember how I mentioned I might just blog pixs and forget about verbage??? Perhaps, now is the time to start as I am so slack in here.
