The festive seasons are upon us! Every year during this time I become overly conscious about the way jeans tighten a little more than usual. Yet, with the merry seasons one after another, it's going to be an uphill battle trying to stow away that little "waist-pouch".
Perhaps my mother is always one step ahead, for this woman is always lithe and skinny, she must have a trick or two up her sleeves. Therefore, behold - the alternative to the lard-filled Lunar New Year dishes!

What is good : Sauces of Yu Sheng are often max on sugar and they are bound to add a few pounds to your little waist - which is why we use the alternative of sweet and sour plum sauce and natural oil for seasoning. Let them break away the fat and make the best appetizer before your hearty meals!

| "Pen Cai" in Chinese stands for a big plate of everything, really. Look at the number of ingredients on this really small bowl - it's luxurious! Yet every ingredient is healthy and nutritious, a good mix of vegetables, shrooms and konjac will delight your taste palette. |

| This may just be my favourite out of the lot - and the one I deem most interesting. The Chinese are crazy about shark fins, while I'm not. I'm more crazy for the cute sharks out there to balance our delicate eco-system. So her invention of this vegetarian alternative is simply excellent! |

| A colorful plate with 4 sides to excite your taste buds - there is something peppery, something sweet, something rich in flavour and something crunchy. Go ahead, try each and every of them and try and determine which of the above you have just tasted |
