Yee Sang @ House, G tower

The lunar new year is approaching and as it does, a little tradition like Yee Sang comes along. Yee Sang originated in Malaysia and Singapore. 

Yee Sang is basically a bunch of veggies, salmon and a few condiments that binds it all together. It is quite healthy food and delicious to eat. Yee Sang can be eaten as an appetizer or for fun. It is so light and not to mention Halal as well *wink*.

The Condiments: 

* Crispy Crackers

* Ground Nuts

* Sesame seeds

* Fragrant Oil
* Sour Plum sauce

The Yee Sang itself consists of 

* Carrot strips

*Ginger strips

* Cucumber strips

* Yam Strips that comes in green, yellow and red

And several stuff other yummy goodness

Pour all the condiments on to the Yee Sang and start preparing the Salmon to finish up.

Some adds either Salmon or Abalone to add additional flavor to the Yee Sang. Squeeze a little bit of lime to add a tangy zing to it.

When everything is all piled up (as shown above), it is time to finish up this Yee Sang. Supposedly you are supposed to make a wish of what you want the year to be for you when you tossed everything together. The higher you toss it the better! 

Be sure to not spill it around because it will be a waste of veggie goodness.

The yee sang above is by House, G tower and also a Groupon Deal.

*Original Price is RM 55.68*

*Groupon Price is RM 38*

Delicious tea set

Not that many places cater to the tea crowd unless you are at some hotel lounge that is. Delicious is one of a few restaurants that offers tea sets.Their tea set consists of 3 tiers of heavenly delights. 

The bottom tier is a plate filled with an assorted of sandwiches such as smoked salmon and the crispy yet scrumptious Duck confit in a filo pastry.





The middle tiers consists of mouth watering chocolate truffles and red strawberries with chocolate dipping sauce. On that plate, there's also freshly made scones. Cream and blueberry jam was accompanied for the scones.

The top tier is the best of all and the most mind challenging one of all. You are allowed to pick one dessert of your choice. Usually we picked our all time favourite (as shown here) but this time we decided to choose something else. Mrs were sold as soon as she saw 3 of her favourites all wrapped into one. Macadamia toffee cheesecake.






The caramelized macadamia nuts adds that crunch to even the softness of the cheescake and the sweetness to the toffee. I guess different location of Delicious restaurant have different desserts. There's no harm to test it out except your sugar level, of course.

Hayaki

Driving to the east coast can be a hassle at times especially when you are craving Nasi Kerabu or Nasi Ulam. But now you can indulged in these scrumptious meals and many more Kelantanese delights at Hayaki.

{Nasi Kukus Combo RM 6.90 w/o service charge} 

For today, we decided to have to different meals at Hayaki. The first would be Nasi Kukus and the other is Rojak Buah. Nasi Kukus is one of Mr's favourite thing to order at Hayaki with Sambal Belacan on the side. If you cant handle the hot and spicy, ask for it gravy on the side. But try not too as it will minimize the eating pleasure. Be sure to order it as a set where you get free ice Tea to drown the spicy gravy taste.

{Rojak Buah RM 5.50} 

Next is just a simple side order or can be considered as appetizer. Rojak buah consists of a mixture of fruits and it is then infused together with shrimp paste and topped up with crushed peanuts. The fruits that is in the Hayaki Rojak was Mangoes, guava, pineapple and cucumber. Well cucumber is not a fruit per se but it all goes well together.
