From 13 to 15 February 2014, Hong Kong’s iconic heritage hotel Hullett House will debut an exquisite traditional “big bowl” (pun choi) feast at the hotel’s 50 Pigeons Courtyard, featuring a delightful range of luscious cuisines, classical Chinese music, and exciting entertainment for guests to celebrate the Lantern Festival in authentic walled-village style.
Indigenous Food of Walled Villages
Typically rustic and hearty, the notable walled-village dish is considered a Hong Kong culinary relic, showcasing the very best of conventional New Territories taste. The raison d’être of pun choi is to spend time with family and friends. With its layers of auspiciously-named delicacies, the scrumptious feast symbolises prosperity and abundance, bringing luck and fortune to fruition to their loved ones.
Incorporating home-style elements, the culinary team of Loong Toh Yuen, Hullett House’s signature Chinese Restaurant, will dish up the feast with passion and freshest ingredients. The quintessential festive meal consists of nine courses, prepared through stir-frying, deep-frying, boiling, braising and stewing a wide variety of ingredients and condiments, which are served separately at the table before placing them into a basin one by one. A wonderful array of enticing items, including Clay Pot in Loong Toh Yuen Style featuring turnip, pig’s skin, pork belly, and bean curd stick, Hakka-style favourite Braised Goose Web with Vegetables, Fried Stewed Duckling with Taro in Plum Sauce, Poached Chicken with Conpoy Broth and more, are all in one meal. The multi-tiered pun choi is a craft in itself, with all the juices and sauces mingling together into a complex taste, delivering the ultimate in flavour and tenderness. Gourmands will savour each mouthful as the superb complexity with their palate detects a different note with every bite.
Myriad of Entertainment

Before fuelling up with an authentic feast, diners will be able to feast their eyes on fascinating lanterns and celebratory decorations upon arrival. For the ultimate Lantern Festival, classical Chinese music, and entertainment including lantern riddles, flour-doll sculpting, grass weaving, Chinese calligraphy, Chinese handicraft, and Chinese knotting. To make things even merrier, Hullett House has specially created ‘Ru Yi’ Lucky Bags brimming with festive and tasty delicacies ranging from osmanthus oolong tea to homemade X.O. sauce and abalone.
