(POON CHOY)HOCK THAI RESTAURANT

Poon choy literally means vegetables in a basin, it is actually a Hakka specialty. In the old days they prepared it only on special occasions like festivals or weddings. The food are placed layer by layer on a big bowl and with a flame at the bottom to keep it warm. The one we had was considered to be a mini poon choy. You need to make a reservation, if it for a table of 10 person. When the food was finally served after about 45 minutes of waiting, we just dig in for the best ingredient first. All tables manners were ignored! Parking is no problem as this is a residential area.

This shop is located near the Yamaha music school at n0:2, SS2/103, Petaling Jaya
