    sorry for the lack of updates, just got back from my trip Sunday night and had been busy ever since.  The photos will be coming soon when i have it all "collected."  Wakeboarding and horseback riding was really fun.  Cept that horseback riding really left me a bum ache afterwards n wakeboarding got me a tummy full of lake water n bruises.  Besides that, it was alllll good n exciting =)

    In waiting for the photos to come, I just had an awesome dinner at my dad's friend's friend's house.  Those who are Cantonese might have heard of a traditional Cantonese dish called "盆菜", Poon Choi or Big Bowl Feast.  It is an extremely complex and interesting dish to make because it involves putting  all the food into a huge wood basin or nowadays a metal one.  Poon Choi is special in that it involves putting all da ingredients (can consists of beef, lamb, chicken, mushroom, seafood, abalone etc etc)  in layers n we're suppose to eat from top to bottom.  For todays Poon Choi I think the owner prepared over 13 ingredients!  It is extremely hard work n she mentioned that she had to prepare a week beforehand!  

    ALMOST READY TO GO...!

    I

    It is also very rare to eat Poon Choi nowadays because it is such a time consuming dish to make n it is a tradition slowly fading away.  And to eat this in Vancouver?! Couldn't even dreamt of eating such a dish in a Western country haha.  The 20 guests today were really excited too n for the older generations like my dad, it brings back alot of childhood memories. 

    BON APPETITE N I HOPE THIS TRADITION STAYS =)

    I love the big bowl feast and had tried it in a restaurant few times.  This requires few days in advance to reserve the dish.  Now that I see how a homemade one maybe presented.  I will give it a try.  hahaha...
