  • I've been here several times before for their stir-fried rice/noodle, congee dishes and they are one of the better ones in the NW (Shanghai Palace is also great). This time I ordered a specialty dish called Poon Choi to ring in the Chinese New Year with family and friends. They seem to have this available around CNY on an annual basis and Poon Choi is a traditional Chinese dish for special events. You basically call in and pre-order a day or two before you want it and when you arrive you pay for the food and also leave a $20 refundable deposit once you return the pot. I ordered the six person version (smallest available) which cost $200, there is also a larger version available for more $$$. In the dish there was abalone (6 small pieces which are counted when you pick up your food), roast duck, chicken, lobster balls, shrimp, dried scallops, Chinese mushroom, taro, pork belly, fat choi, fish cake, fish balls, sea cucumber and braised radish. On the side they provide a container of thick, rich sauce which you pour over everything when you are ready to serve. The idea is to put the pot on a portable stove set to low at the middle of the table, pour the sauce over top and each person has a bowl of rice to accompany the food and you dig in family style. The food was good in general considering the variety. It is understandably difficult to get everything right, but overall it was tasty. A few people thought the protein to veggie ratio wasn't good and they cheaped out (everything was propped up by lots of radishes and braised veggies). But they are one of the few places in Calgary that do this (I think I found about five other Chinese restaurants that offer this), so props to them and considering it's a special occasion dish with some expensive ingredients it was worth it to me. This is also available for dine-in customers, however you still need to pre-order ahead of time (and probably want to make reservations anyways). As mentioned, this is only available around CNY time.
