Pen Cai - 盆菜

  • Share this:

Pen Cai, also known as ‘poon choy or poon choi’ is a braised treasure pot of goodies with an unmatched flavor and fragrance! This dish is normally filled to the brim with layers and layers of premium seafood and meats for that intense umami flavour, so what’s not to like about this?

In Singapore, it is often eaten on the night of the reunion dinner where families indulge in this pot of 'treasure'. It is always an exciting experience as we uncover the different layers of delicacies in the pot.

So try this recipe and welcome richness, joy, and abundance together with your loved ones this coming chinese new year!
