Tossing Yee Sang (2)

Tossing Yue Sang (1) - It's all about tossing yue sang and there are 6 steps which are the norm to be followed..

On the first day of the new year, my sister called me that she had booked two tables for tossing yue sang. I agreed to that and she suggested that we tossed the yee sang according to the six steps. I answered, "Why not?"

So on the second day, we went to Flemington Hotel for our lunch. We were required to pour those ingredients on our own. So both my sister and I took charge..

Here's the yee sang..


First I arranged the salmon and pressed the lime onto it..


Then, I poured the pepper/5-spices powder onto it..


Finally, I poured the plum sauce onto it..


The yee sang was ready to be tossed..


Chanted 8 auspicious phrases..


Last but not least, everyone said, "Kong Hei Fatt Choy!"


Nicely tossed and we finished it in no time..

Yummy!

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

    We do not really go into this tradition here - probably Cantonese...though we do find people doing that here and there sometimes. Not my favourite either...

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
