Fun fact: showed it to a Chinese friend. He laughed a lot and said the dumplings and pork are the traditional food for new year.
These are mostly for vlogging purposes and colorful hence, attract the foreigners more.

When she says 80 years malaysia born tradition, does that means only chinese malaysian practice this? So does it means, chinese at other countries dont mixed their yee sang?

Guangzhou has its own version if yee sang which is eaten piece and normally enjoyed with liquor and other delicacies. The Japanese has its own version called sashimi and the Korean has its hoe. Malaysian should stick to calling it Lo Yee Sang only (Not just Yee Sang) to stand out from the rest.

A staple for Chinese in South East Asian countries*
