Poon Choi - the Big Bowl Feast



I'm back and ready to post about about all our culinary adventures in Asia! First off, check out poon choi - layers and layers of various foods such as chicken, duck, shrimp, pork, mushrooms, tofu etc. all in one big bowl. The foods should be eaten layer by layer as opposed to "stirring it all up" but of course, those that can't wait for the juicy radishes ("lo bak") spend alot of time searching around the bottom of the bowl. Poon choi is usually served on special occasions - we had poon choi twice in Hong Kong - once for lunch on Kee's chinese banquet wedding day (top pic with special before and after effect) and this particular beauty for Tam Shui Hang's Chinese New Year celebration.
