For Chinese New Year, the traditional thing to do in Hong Kong is have the family gather around and enjoy Poon Choi, layered goodness filled with picked vegetables and canto-style meats. 13 lbs of food enough to feed a family of 10. The weekend before CNY, a couple of the analysts and myself decided to order a set and try it out.
The delivery came cold... which was expected by me but disputed by others. As we tried to heat it up, I realized there was blood in the chicken! scary. I didn't really want to touch any of it afterwards. We separated the bloody chicken and all the other stuff the blood touched into a separate pot. When we finally managed to heat up the 13 lbs of food in a small hong kong apartment, the food actually was quite good. The tofu and duck with my favorite. There was plenty of lotus root and califlower to go around. Overall, a very delicious meal. I highly recommend it (except probably better with people who actually knows how to cook it.)
