Drawing inspiration from his yee sang journey

The new Chiu Chow Yee Sang adds a ritzy twist to the traditional festive toss.

This year’s new variant of yee sang, the Chiu Chow Yee Sang, was inspired by chef Alex Au’s travels and the local yee sang he had sampled.

The executive Chinese chef at The Ritz-Carlton, Kuala Lumpur’s Li Yen curated the yee sang after having drawn inspiration from the varieties he tried in China, Thailand and Singapore.
