New Year on the tip of the tongue - Ping Shan Poon Choi

Overview

As a northerner, I have been in the south for eight years, and spent most of the Spring Festival in the south. I really like southern food. I heard that the documentary "New Year on the Bite of the Tongue" was released in the theater a while ago, and I went to watch it. There were only eight people in the audience, but I still like it very much. , by the way, the movie introduces how people across the country celebrate the Spring Festival with special foods. Among them, Ping Shan Poon Choi in Yuen Long, Hong Kong attracted me. Poon Choi is a specialty and tradition in the south, and it varies from place to place. The Tip of the Tongue series also mentioned Poon Choi more than once. I made Poon Choi for the first time last year, and this year I came to try Pingshan Poon Choi. Of course, mine cannot be compared with the chef's. The style is still the same, with some changes in the method, it is a copycat version.
