Chinese New Year is only a week away but I just can’t wait to feast on one of my favourite dishes, the Pen Cai Treasure Pot!

While it’s a relatively new dish for reunion dinners in Singapore, Pen Cai originated all the way back from the Song Dynasty and made its way to Hong Kong.

Some common ingredients you can find? Expect abalone, oysters, fish maw, sea cucumber, crabs, scallops, black moss and the list goes on…
