Poon's London

The countdown to Chinese New Year 2019 is on. We're wearing our heart our sleeve - and our chopsticks - as we look forward to an exciting year ahead #TuesdayThoughts

We're getting ready to return to London this year - the search is on for a new permanent home #PoonsLondon #TuesdayThoughts

One of the famous Chinatown foo (/fu) dogs, also known as Chinese Guardian Lions. The meaning and symbolism of the Foo dogs is all about protecting your home or workplace from negative energy <3 . . . . #foodog #fudog #guardianlion #chinesetradition #protection #symbolism #lion

Preparation & presentation are key in all of our dishes and we only use fresh & sustainable ingredients to help keep the ying & yang balance :-) . . . . . #autheticchinese #poonslondon #culinaryrevolution #chinesefood #vegetarian #healthyliving #clerkenwell #eatwell #yinyang

We couldn't resist these little guys as a treat from Chinatown this morning - custard filled buns; originally a Japanese street-food but adopted & produced by the Chinatown bakery. . . . . . #custardbuns #chinatown #poonslondon #funfood #fishfood

One of my favourite things to eat - Hainanese chicken rice. Simple, subtle flavours - honest food. . . . . #autheticchinese #familyrecipe #poonslondon #culinaryrevolution #chinesefood #vegetarian #healthyliving #clerkenwell #eatwell

Hong Kong milk tea (aka silk stocking tea) is a unique HK appropriation of English tea drinking. It is made from black tea and evaporated milk, cows being scarce in HK! Steeped and strained through a stocking, it is rich, smooth & smokey. . . . #teatime #chinesetea #poonslondon

We have quite a small kitchen! There's not mushroom in here ;) . . . . . . #healthychinese #sustainablefood #healthyliving #mushroommadness

A line up of some of our light and fresh cold dishes . . . . . . #healthychinese ##sustainablefood #healthyliving #comfortfood #foodie #delicious

Claypot rice with minced beef and a raw egg cracked over the top. The heat of the rice will gently cook the egg when you mix it all up into a glorious eggy, beefy, soya-saucey mess! . . . . . #autheticchinese #familyrecipe #culinaryrevolution #chinesefood #vegetarian #comfortfood

Our year of the dog mascot! A symbol of loyalty & honesty. . . . . #chinesenewyear #poonslaunch #yearofthedog #yearofpoons #popup #booknow #lislestreet #chinatown #chinesefood

Our San Choi Bao seems to be topping the charts of favourite dishes . . . . . . #chinesecuisine #authenticchinese #familyrun #culinaryrevolution #sanchoibao

A salad of woodear mushrooms with slivers of celery is a mellow Chinkiang vinegar dressing. . . . . . . #autheticchinese #familyrecipe #poonslondon #culinaryrevolution #chinesefood #vegetarian #healthyliving #clerkenwell #eatwell

Prawn spring rolls. Still a classic winner! . . . . . . #springrolls #chinesefood #confortfood #familyrecipe #poonslondon

Tea for two? We serve 3 kinds of delicious tea, Shu Pu Erh, Jasmine & Oolong - something for everyone we hope. . . . . . #teatime #autheticchinese #familyrecipe #poonslondon #culinaryrevolution #chinesefood

Claypot Rice with our signature wind-dried meats - a perfect Winter warmer . . . . . . #chinesecuisine #authenticchinese #familyrun #culinaryrevolution #winterwarmer #comfortfood
