The Longest Yee Sang

My daughter has been asking for lion dance performance during the Chinese New Year. We didn't get to see any lion dance until Chor 8.  Her wish get granted when we made a trip to down town on last Sunday. We wanted to bring her for the scheduled lion dance at Pavilion KL. So happen there is a special Yee Sang tossing event and  road closure along Jalan Bukit Bintang so we made it to arrive Pavilion earlier. 

We were there at the mall about 12noon. The crowded was there for the Yee Sang tossing event. Not only that we also see a lot of lions out there.


We brought the kids out to see the lions. Needless to say they are very happy. But the lion dance performance had actually ended.


The longest Yee Sang tossing organised by the Prime Minister's department. Pavilion KL was one of the venue hosts. Yan Yan spotted the pink lion.

The Yee Sang listed as the longest Yee Sang by the Malaysia Book of Records. But the food ended up wasted like this just to break the record.


The clowns and god of fortune were there to for giveaways angpao.

Finally we get to watch the Acrobatic Lion Dance performance at 3pm.

At least you got the chance to "lou" the longest yee sang. Just too bad that the leftovers all ended up in the tong sampah. We did not see or hear any lion dance in Shanghai, not even 1! I find it strange that this culture is not practiced here.

Health Freak Mommy said...

Yeah, I read about the wasted yee sang. Really waste of the Rakyat's tax money!! Did you and your kids try the yee sang?
