Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Poons – the institution of Chinese cooking that once dominated London's dining scene with five venues and a Michelin star – is back with a three-month Clerkenwell pop-up from legendary chef Bill Poon's daughter, Amy.
And to celebrate its return, we've teamed up with the restaurant to offer Foodism readers the chance to try its Steamboat Sunday special menu on 18 February for themselves – at a discounted price of £15 a head, usual cost £19.80. You lucky thing, you.
And even better it's BYOB, and Foodism readers won't be charged corkage.
Steamboat Sundays will be weekly event at the pop-up, where diners will gather around a pot of delicious bubbling Chinese broth to cook their favourite combination of ingredients at the table, followed by slurping the hearty broth at the end. Just a few of bites you might be scoffing are pork loin, deep-fried tofu puffs, Chinese winter melon. Yum.
