Poon's London

We're searching for new home in London - 46 years since the first Poon's restaurant opened in Lisle Street in 1973.

The countdown to Chinese New Year 2019 is on. We're wearing our heart our sleeve - and our chopsticks - as we look forward to an exciting year ahead #TuesdayThoughts

We're getting ready to return to London this year - the search is on for a new permanent home #PoonsLondon #TuesdayThoughts

One of the famous Chinatown foo (/fu) dogs, also known as
Chinese Guardian Lions. The meaning and symbolism of the Foo dogs is all about protecting your home or workplace from negative energy <3

We couldn't resist these little guys as a treat from Chinatown this morning - custard filled buns; originally a Japanese street-food but adopted & produced by the Chinatown bakery.

One of my favourite things to eat - Hainanese chicken rice. Simple, subtle flavours - honest food.

Hong Kong milk tea (aka silk stocking tea) is a unique HK appropriation of English tea drinking. It is made from black tea and evaporated milk, cows being scarce in HK! Steeped and strained through a stocking, it is rich, smooth & smokey.

Claypot rice with minced beef and a raw egg cracked over the top. The heat of the rice will gently cook the egg when you mix it all up into a glorious eggy, beefy, soya-saucey mess!

A salad of woodear mushrooms with slivers of celery is a mellow Chinkiang vinegar dressing.
