It is an interesting dish and tasty. But we were only able to eat about a 1/4 of it at the restaurant. We brought the rest home for dinner tonight and tomorrow night and the next night.... you get the idea of how much was leftover.

Chinese New Year 2010 - 1st Day
We went out to a Chinese restaurant for lunch to celebrate the 1st day of CNY with my in-laws. For the 1st time, we tried the Hakka dish 'Poon Choi' which translates to 'Big Bowl Feast'. The dish is a big bowl/basin filled with everything from duck, chicken, pork, beef tendon, taufoo, beancurd sticks, prawns, dried scallops, vegetables, mushrooms (shitake, abalone mushroom) etc.
