About Poon Choi:
Poon Choi (盆菜) is a traditional Cantonese communal dish enjoyed during festivals and celebrations. Served in a large basin, it features layered ingredients—from vegetables and tofu at the bottom to premium items like pork, chicken, and seafood on top—symbolizing abundance and unity. This event is part of The HKFYG’s Neighbourhold First Activity Series, aimed at fostering community spirit and exchange.
