While 2016 saw several indulgent versions of the CNY favourite—remember the World’s Most Expensive Yee Sang that was valued at RM16,888+ last year in KL?—this year’s offerings are on the other side of the spectrum. Whether it’s because people are growing more mindful of eating clean or the gap between Christmas and Chinese New Year is literally too close for comfort, we’d have to say these healthy Yee Sang platters tastes as good as it is guilt-free.
