Pen Cai

The family loved this. 
Stated portion is for 5 persons but it can go round ten. There's more than enough gravy and you can use the excess to cook up another pot of additional ingredients to add on to the family feast. 

The waxed meats were tasty but the rice was inferior. 

Other items avaiable include hae zhor and sweet/sour pork
