Pen cai (\u76c6\u83dc), also known as poon choy or a treasure pot, is a legendary dish that takes centre stage during Chinese New Year in Singapore. Traditionally served in a large basin, it\u2019s layered to the brim with luxurious goodies \u2013 think whole abalone, sea cucumber, plump scallops, tender roast meats, and flavourful braised vegetables. Each ingredient in a pen cai symbolises prosperity and abundance, making it an auspicious addition to any reunion dinner. The result? A rich, savoury one-pot feast that brings families together around the table.<\/span><\/p>\n

As someone passionate about festive foods (and has happily tasted my way through countless pen cai over the years), I\u2019ve done the research for you. Below are my top picks for the best pen cai you can get in Singapore. Even better, these options are all available on Shopee Singapore \u2013 you can order them easily for self-collection or enjoy pen cai delivery right to your doorstep!<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not often you find a pen cai that caters to different dietary preferences in one listing, but Tam Kah Seafood does exactly that. C<\/span>hoose from the award-winning Superior Pen Cai (brimming with 6-head abalone, sea cucumber, fish maw, and specifically, Tam Kah\u2019s premium shark\u2019s fin), or opt for the Prosperity Pen Cai that features their 10-head abalone.<\/p>\n

The Superior version is luxuriously rich, and the Prosperity version delivers depth of flavour thanks to the premium mushrooms and aromatic braised sauce.
