Restaurants where you can sample authentic poon choi

Poon choi is a must-have dish for every Cantonese dinner table on the eve of Chinese New Year. It fosters auspicious meanings of unity and prosperity, as all delicacies are served together in a big wooden or clay bowl.

Vegetables such as radish and lotus root are placed at the bottom so they can be bathed in the broth longer and acquire a richer taste. The premium ingredients such as abalone are placed on the top. The rest of the ingredients such as tofu and sea cucumber are placed in the middle.
