Succulent Abalone
Yee Sang dish right before the ritual tossing starts
The ritual of tossing the yee sang starts with the layering of shredded vegetables, raw fish, sauces and condiments along with uttering auspicious wishes for a prosperous new year for everyone at the dinner table.
Then comes the best part - the actual tossing and the higher you toss, the higher your growth in "fortunes".
