My company had its annual dinner held at Hotel Intercontinental Kuala Lumpur last month, just 2 weeks before the start of Chinese New Year. So I figured out that it might not be bad to share some of the fabulous photos I had managed to take at the event on that night.

The hotel was nice enough to provide us with some Chinese New Year props for our photo taking session before the dinner.





Our night started with a Lo Hei Yusheng, also known as Yusheng or Propersity Toss. Yusheng is a Teochew-style raw fish salad that usually consists of strips of raw fish (most commonly Salmon) mixed with shredded vegetables, a variety of sauces and crackers.

Eating Yusheng is part of a cultural activity for Chinese living in both Singapore and Malaysia. It is often served as the appetizer of a multi-dish dinner as it symbolizes good luck and prosperity for the year.
To eat this, all diners will stand up and toss the shredded ingredients high up in the air with their chopsticks. While tossing, diners are expected to shout various auspicious wishes out to bring in good luck for this luck. So, we wished for things like increments, bonuses and wealth.


Another welfie sessions with my pretty colleagues. We just could not stop taking photos on such a happy night!


We ended our night with a vain welfie. I think we actually enjoyed taking photos more than food. But most importantly, the entire event was a complete success and all of us had enjoyed ourselves very much!
