The iconic “prosperity toss salad” called yee sang gains a refreshing twist, thanks to the creativity of a Kuala Lumpur restaurant’s culinary team.

While it has seafood toppings like salmon, jelly­fish or abalone, the yee sang version at Shanghai restaurant in JW Marriott Hotel Kuala Lumpur has a crisp, salad profile featuring finely sliced cabbage, carrot, pomelo, coriander, cucumber and several pickled vegetables.
