Chinese New Year Poon Choy and Putien Oyster Festival @ Putien (莆田), Gurney Paragon, Penang.

One of the best ways to usher in Chinese New Year is to enjoy a big Poon Choy feast with your loved ones. The Chinese Treasure Pot filled with a decadent Chinese New Year delicacies has become increasingly popular and eventually, a staple to welcome the auspicious season. For the coming Chinese New Year (the Year of Pig/ 2019), the Michelin-starred brand Putien (莆田) is offering Pot of Goodies, a Poon Choy promotion along with some Chinese New Year packages. Place your orders from now onwards to 5th of January 2019, a 20% discount will be given for early bird orders. Apart from the Chinese New Year promotions, Putien is also introducing its Putien Oyster Festival... featuring 7 seasonal Oyster dishes.

The soup comes with an in-depth Seafood and meat sweetness; unlike some restaurants that use thicken stock/ gravy for Poon Choy, Putien sticks to the traditional way. The seasonal Oyster Festival on the other side, brings in seafood wholesomeness... to be cooked in 7 different ways. The Seaweed with Crispy Oysters is of the worth-mentioned ones... a combination between Seaweed with briny sea essence and sweet, plump Oysters; the flavor-combo is delicate but unique in its own way. These additional offerings would make great additions to your Chinese New Year feasts at Putien.
