Alaskan spider crab and waxed meat among attractions on festive menus

Hakka Style Steamed Rice with Waxed Meat

THERE is no reason to go on any sort of diet during the Chinese New Year season, especially when it is a time to savour some of your favourite Chinese dishes.

For me, this is when I get to eat my favourite Chinese New Year appetiser or yee sang which has a combination of jicama, coriander, carrot, pickled ginger, radish and cucumber mixed together with plum sauce, crispy crackers and ground peanuts as well as sesame seeds.Oriental Group’s Noble Mansion has a variety of yee sang that offer silver fish, salmon, salmon and anchovies, salmon and prawns, soft shell crab, golden crispy enoki mushroom and even grilled Iberico pork neck.
