By now, those of you celebrating Chinese New Year would have had your fill of all the delicious CNY dishes and snacks. Let the festivities continue! I was looking around for Yee Sang under RM30, came across a HungryGoWhere review where they mentioned the ones sold at AEON and Eu Yan Sang. I thought Eu Yan Sang would be a better option because I have tried the ones sold at AEON in previous years and don’t think much of it.
I checked out the EYS menu and they have jellyfish Yee Sang at RM28 + 6% tax = RM29.70 and it isn’t the prepackaged kind like what they sell at supermarkets. I was impressed that they could include jellyfish and yet keep it below RM30. This seems to be a different Yee Sang than the one mentioned on HungryGoWhere as the one they reviewed is RM27 without jellyfish.
This one comes in a red box with illustration of koi fish, lanterns and auspicious sayings. A packet of Bo Cui Crackers is included with the many ingredients.
If you like, add some salmon sashimi. There are plenty of packs to choose from at AEON supermarket. I got this pack for RM9.50, don’t need a lot as it’s just to add colour and some flavor to the Yee sang.
The portion won’t be enough for 10 pax but it’s definitely sufficient for 4 pax and more than enough for 2 pax. I like the inclusion of orange rind and everything tastes fresh, so much better than those prepacked supermarket varieties.
Let’s all toss to a Year of Abundance, wishing everyone health, wealth and happiness.
RM30 is really worth the price for including jelly fish in it. Happy New Year to you too Juniper!
This Yee Sang is a must buy this Chinese New Year for those who are on a budget!
