Because Chinese New Year is never complete without a round (or ten) 'Yee Sang'.

Yee Sang, also known as Yu Sheng (魚生) is a traditional dish for Chinese during Chinese New Year which symbolises prosperity, abundance and a new beginning.

A mainstay for Malaysians to usher in the Lunar New Year, the act of enjoying Yee Sang &ndash; namely Lou Sang/Lou Hei &ndash; is something loved by all! While raw fish (think sashimi, tuna etc) are the traditional&nbsp;choices, Yee Sang has now evolved to featuring various other seafood and even fruits as the star of the dish.&nbsp;

From Chynna at Hilton Kuala Lumpur to Ruyi &amp; Lyn and Fook at Bukit Bintang, we listed down 5 unique Yee Sang offerings&nbsp; you can try in Kuala Lumpur that are excellence in colour, aroma and taste.
