It's time for a resplendent feast of Prosperity Toss or Yee Sang (raw fish salad) to usher in the prosperous Lunar New Year at the Meisan Szechuan Restaurant, Quality Hotel City Centre, Kuala Lumpur.

Yee Sang, a traditional dish serves as an appetizer during lunch or dinner course to usher the New Year, is an assortment of small strips raw fish mixed with shredded carrots, capsicum, kaffir lime leaves, young ginger, cucumber, red chili and Chinese parsley.
