Yee Sang is also known as Prosperity Toss or Loh Sang which is a dish that is popular during Chinese New Year festive season. It usually consists of strips of salmon, abalone, jellyfish, mixed with shredded vegetables and a variety of sauces and condiments, among other ingredients. Tossing yee sang symbolizes good luck, prosperity, health and just about all things auspicious. During the tossing of yee sang, everyone will shout out auspicious wishes and hopes for the new year. The Chinese also believe the higher you toss, the more luck you get. A fun activity indeed.
This year, I have tossed 3 yee sang. One was at home and two were at the office, a day before the office closes for the festive season and the first day we went back to work. It has always been my company’s tradition to have a feast on both days.
