With Chinese New Year around the corner, it’s a good time as any to help out local businesses as much as we can. Getting ready for Chinese New Year celebrations at home will be a breeze with help from these local shops!

Whether you are seeking yee sang or your favourite traditional cookies, here are some options for you to choose while supporting these hardworking fellow Malaysians.

1. Hon Foong Sdn Bhd

This family-run grocery shop has been supplying yee sang ingredients to restaurants for more than 20 years. In recent years, they have been selling pre-packed yee sang ingredients (for either to 10 pax) directly to consumers.

Each set contains slices of white ginger, red ginger, pickled leak, papaya, red and green yam and Chinese cucumber, as well as plum sauce, ground peanut and sesame and Bo Cui crackers.

There is also pepper powder and five-spice powder for those intending to add their own salmon slices when serving.

To make it even more delicious, you may add pomelo, or slices of fresh cucumber slice, pear and jicama (yam bean).
