Crunchy lotus seeds play a key role in Ăn Viet's Festive
Yee Sang salad. According to the Chinese saying, “吃了 Ăn Viet 香脆 莲子鱼生, 包你捞了好运莲莲”, which means whoever eats Ăn Viet’s Yee Sang will enjoy continuous good luck
throughout the year.
Besides the inclusion of lotus seeds for nutty
taste and extra crunch, we like the fact only 100% fresh, natural vegetables and
fruits are used to compose the colourful salad.
Shredded radish, carrot and young mango form the central
base. Little tubs of Vietnamese radish and carrot pickles, sweet corn kernels, fresh
mint leaves, shredded lettuce, roasted peanuts, snow pear chunks, cherry
tomatoes and promegranate seeds are arranged inside the platter. This is to ensure minimum
mess and for easy assembly prior to serving. Fresh lime wedges, smoked salmon
and a house-made citrusy sauce act as the crowning glory to complete it.
For takeaway, Ăn Viet’s Crunchy Lotus Seeds Yee Sang
comes in a nifty platter with a transparent lid. The outer wraparound packaging
is designed for easy hand-carry.
To enjoy, simply squeeze the lime juice over the Yee
Sang then place the smoked salmon on top. Then pour the citrusy sauce all over
the salad and invite everyone to toss and stir the Yee Sang accompanied by
declarations of ‘loh hei’ or ‘loh sang’ and other auspicious sayings.
We give two thumbs up to Ăn Viet’s Crunchy Lotus Seeds
Yee Sang
as the overall taste is delightfully refreshing. All the various components
blend harmoniously; the layers of textures perked up by the tantalising citrusy
sauce.
