lou.sang.捞.生

a colorful salad? well, in a way, yee sang (鱼生)is considered as salad, no?
 you didn't make everything even though your friend shared a recipe with you. you just doing the short cut as you can buy the yee sang kit from london. so you bought one this week.  preparing is quite straight forward, but requires effort...
 you added carrots, coriander leaves, radish and salmon. and the list of things you can add is long but you recognized this is enough for the two of you
 and so you lou (捞). this is a chinese new year dish commonly available from where you come from.  simply because it's auspicious based on the saying as you mix the dish.  for you this is merely a salad, a special treat once in a year, though you could make this more common if you want to...

the mixed version, where different ingredients are now mixed, it's just like any salad isn't it?
you had this for lunch. it's delicious. your body is happy with the veg in take. you feel good too!  there's another portion available for another plate, which will have to be next week when you are back from london.

happy weekend.
