Celebrating the Year of the Ox with a Lunar New Year Poon Choi 盤菜

Just a week ago we celebrated Chinese New Year, welcoming the Year of the Ox. And like every other CNY, it's the perfect the opportunity for us to cook and eat a lot of good food and observe our cultural traditions. This year, Mama Lam made a Poon Choi / Pancai / Big Bowl Feast / 盤菜.

Golden Paramount Seafood Restaurant 金百樂海鮮酒家 – Celebrating Chinese New Year in Richmond

It's Chinese New Year (CNY) a couple of weeks ago, and us Chinese know how to celebrate -- eat, feast, and repeat. Of course, there are many regional Chinese New Year traditions throughout China, and being from HK, the HK tradition is what I'm most familiar with. On New Year's Eve I was invited to a feast with food expert Lee Man, and it just heightened my appreciation for my culture. Calling it a feast, obviously it was a multi-course dinner with an abundance of food. We are all about good meanings when it comes to choosing the dishes or even naming them for CNY. On Instagram I showed a glimpse of what that means with the CNY dinner made by Mama Lam this year. It's being realized here once again at Golden Paramount in Richmond.
