  • Lou Hei the Yee Sang - Kuala Lumpur
    Lou Hei the Yee Sang

    During the Chinese New Year season, lots of merry making is seen. It is usually around Late January to February month. Chinese love decking in red, eat mandarin oranges, have lion dances, and go out to have grand banquets. Many Chinese restaurants may have firecrackers, lion dances to offer..check out the time. We celeberate for 15 days, and we have this unique dish called Yee Sang (Raw Fish) - it is salad-y type of food. Yee means endless wealth and sang means life. And we would furiously mix the ingredients served in a platter and shout lou hei - symbolises prosperity and longevity

  • a Songket - Kuala Lumpur
    a Songket

    Religious festivals . Travelling to KL during the week of main religious festivals such as Hari Raya Puasa and Chinese New Year -- you will find that many shops, shopping centres are closed and deserted streets. Like many big cities in Europe, KL city dwellers mostly arrived from smaller towns and other states to work in big cities. And they normally celebrate religious festivals with their family back home. Hotels are aplenty during this period, but getting taxis can be lil difficult and so are hawker foods.. Prior your visit, check the calendar if you want to avoid visiting during this period. . A famous local cartoonist 'Lat' sketched a carricature of KL roads whereby people could sleep in the middle of the road when city dwellers 'balik kampong' during Hari Raya festival .. hehe . This is a 'scanned' picture of the 'songket'. Handloomed songket is woven with gold, siver and cotton thread to produce intricate designs and a rich cloth fit for royalty
