GEORGE TOWN: For most couples, Chinese New Year celebrations would mean enjoying meals with both sides of the family.
However, with interstate and inter-district travel restrictions under the movement control order (MCO) this year, couple Christopher Tan and Ng Su-Ann decided to tweak things a little.
The often busy working couple took to the kitchen to prepare poon choi for the first time.
Tan, a journalist, decided that this year, he would whip up poon choi, a traditional Cantonese festive meal with many layers of ingredients because his wife, Ng, a company corporate communications manager, has never tried it.
