IMPERIAL SPRING YEE SANG - A Royal Treat In The Season Of Spring

You simply must check out the Imperial Spring Yee Sang range Spring Toss has concocted for the Year of the Tiger. It comes in three festive packagings to suit individual preferences. I especially love the package designs. They're not only eye-catching; they've also got that endearing "Fa Cai" ambience so close to Chinese hearts. 
The Imperial Spring range contains the six basic ingredients of Green Kua Ying, Red and Yellow Ginger, Pickled Leeks, Kua Ying and Pickled Papaya, which accompany all three packagings. 

On top of these are three extra condiments comprising Chuka Hotate, Chuka Kurage and Wakame to give your yee sang that extra zing. 

Not forgetting, of course, the essential ingredients of Pok Choy, Peanut and Sesame, Lime Sauce, Edible Vegetable Oil and Sliced Yam, which I consider the very foundations of yee sang, in a manner of speaking.

Then comes the match with the marine catch, an element so many insist upon in the yee sang platter. You have four choices of salmon, abalone, scallop and octopus with which to delight your taste buds.

But, like I always say, when it comes to yee sang, the rules are not always inviolate. You mix as the fancy strikes you. After all, it's your own palate you're aiming to please.. Let's look at the three packagings individually, each of which serves 8 to 10 "loh-hey-ers" (customised word, not copyrighted).


IMPERIAL ARRAY

This particular packaging is meant for those sticklers for tradition who prefer the original taste of yee sang without any enhancements. It's ready-to-serve. You just empty the contents onto a platter and it's all systems go for your loh-hey session. 



IMPERIAL BANQUET

And what a convenient banquet, I might add. It even comes with a complimentary serving plate so you can loh-hey wherever and whenever the fancy strikes you. Try having a loh-hey picnic on your lawn this year with this packaging. You'll do it again, I promise you.



IMPERIAL GESTURE

What a delightful and appropriate gift for Chinese New Year! A culinary treat with an artistic touch. You can't miss when you say "Gong Xi Fa Cai" with this! And the gift-box in which it comes is so pretty you just can't bring yourself to throw it away.
