Ken Well Seafood Restaurant - Yee Sang

While driving around Cheras Batu 11 with an aim to fill our tummies and also have a 'lou sang' experience, we found Ken Well Seafood Restaurant. Judging from the packed restaurant, we were convinced the food was good and it most definitely was! 

We ordered a Lou Sang/Yee Sang dish, Ginger Garlic Lala dish, Nyonya sauce fish slices and Kangkung belacan. They introduced their crab dish (seems its really good), too bad i'm allergic, it looked finger licking good on the table beside us. :)

Lou Sang is normally a must-have during the Lunar new year. Based on Minty's kitchen, On the 7th day of Chinese New Year is a common birthday for everyone, and on this day is when the yee sang is eaten. I just found out.. 

Every ingredient placed on the plate has a meaning, like the carrot symbolizes good luck, the white radish symbolizes prosperity, salmon symbolizes abundance, lime symbolizes luck and auspicious value, green radish symbolizes eternal youth, sprinkled pepper symbolizes more wealth and valuables. Well, if you thought i became a sifu in chinese dishes, well think again. :) I just read about it here, and thought it was an interesting share. :)

Once all the components of the yee sang are on the plate, its time to mix! the higher the toss, the better! While mixing, we all said our wishes and dreams, hoping it would come through.  

Yee sang (RM38.80)

The finale, messy as everyone wants a higher toss for good luck :)

About the other dishes, the lala dish was delicious, the lala was bigger than usual, thus the meat was juicy and springy, compared to the smaller ones. The nyonya fish slices could have been more spicy and sourish, then it would have been perfect. As for the kangkung belacan, it was good, difficult to get it wrong. :)

Huge lala! Ginger garlic sauce lala - RM 20

Nyonya sauce fish slices - RM25

Kangkung belacan- RM 10

P/s: Have you seen the change in blog name and blog header? I recently had some spare time to recreate my blog header, and think of a catchy name for it. It had a lame name for too long. sorry :) If your interested in recreating your blog header or maybe editing your photos, try PicMonkey.
