"Pun Choy"

What is Pun Choy? Have you ever taste it?

To me, it's actually nothing to shout about after we had tried it during our last Chinese New Year.

The cook just lay dishes on top of each other into a big bowl. And the bowl will be kept warm using a small stove. We were served with white rice that were mixed with small fried onion. The rice smells very good. We started eating from the top layer until the bottom dish.

What you can find inside this big bowl? Chicken, pork, mushroom, sea cucumber, prawn, broccoli, scallop, dried oyster, duck, abalone, fish ball, etc.

I was thinking, perhaps the founder for pun choy basically just wanted to save time and resources so that he/she doesn't need to wash so many utensil or plate after meals. All he needs to do is just dump 8 or 9 different dishes into one big bowl.

Guess how much we got to pay for the above pun choy? ................ close to RM1000, thanks partly because of the abalone too.
