A must-have dish for your celebration table is the Yee Sang, a colorful plate of fresh and preserved vegetables with raw fish. The hotel is putting on a collection of Vegetarian Yee Sang (RM58), Smoked Salmon Yee Sang (RM88), Fresh Salmon Yee Sang (RM88), and Sliced Abalone Yee Sang (RM198) to toss to the new year for good fortune.

A delightful selection of traditional Pineapple Tarts, Peanut Butter Cookies, Almond Cookies, and Cashew Nut Cookies is also available as well. Packed in a glass cookie jar, each is priced at RM38. I just love the Peanut Butter Cookies with extra nutty peanut toppings.
