  1. Love your blog! So much to read! This salad is called “yee sang” or “yu sheng” (means “raw fish” but the word sounds like “increase in abundance”), and it’s a festive dish served during the Lunar New Year in Malaysia and Singapore (to my knowledge, it’s not really that popular or well-known outside of these two countries). 🙂
