Pat Heung is situated at New Territories and is a
place where you can enjoy Big Bowl Feast (Poon Choi).
Especially in Chinese New Year time, people like to go
to enjoy the feast. I have paid several visits to Pat
Heung with my friends. The meal is served with a big
tub with all the cooked food inside. They include meat
like pork, beef, chicken, seafood, meat & fish balls.
Seasonal vegetables and other vegetarian food like
bean curd stick, bean curd puff can also be found.
For the just past Chinese New Year when I went
to Pat Heung, I also got the chance to see the
traditional Chinese Lion Dance. It is an activity
mostly carried out during the Chinese New Year
to celebrate the Festival. That day the show was
organised by some district leaders. The leaders
hosted the ceremony by dotting the lion eyes.
Following was the lion dance show. At this time,
onlookers were excited and they used to put
red-pocket into the lion mouth which they
believed such action would bring them good
luck and fortune for the whole year.
