I'm not too certain of its origins but I'd care to wager that this kingly feast has something to do with some remote villagers' local offerings to an Emperor or General who stopped by during his quest to conquer the land.
Poon Choi which translates literally to "basin food" is a basically a large casserole neatly assembled with a dozen or more different dishes. Each dish is prepared separately and then laid out in the basin in two tiers, the more expensive the dish the higher they are placed in the basin. The casserole is then heated up for a short while before open season is declared and everyone digs in.
At Restoran LYJ, they offer two versions of Poon Choi - the regular version for RM258 and the premium version for RM500. Like any other regular Chinese restaurant, Restoran LYJ is equipped to whip up a host of other dishes, although there is no need really to order anything else if you order the Poon Choi, which is sufficient to feed between 10 to 12 adults.
For the regular version, I counted at least a fifteen different dishes / ingredients. The top tier contains an impressive line-up of steamed farm chicken (菜园肥鸡), crispy roasted duck (脆皮烧鸭), salt & pepper shrimp (椒盐大虾), home-style brewed senangin (家乡酿马友鱼), boiled brocolli and cauliflower.
The bottom tier is no slouch either, represented by stewed pork (卤花肉), oyster (蚝士), fish maw (鱼漂), abalone (珍珠鲍具), braised pork knuckle (猪脚), chicken leg (鸡脚), black mushrooms (冬菇) bailing mushrooms (白灵菇) and chestnut (栗子).
For the premium version, on top of the dishes served in the regular version, shark's fin (桂花翅), scallops (粒澳洲带子), abalone (澳洲车轮鲍鱼), brewed oyster (酿蚝士) and pork ribs (南乳排骨) are added to the extravagant feast.
Too much meat? Worry not! Both versions of Poon Choi come with a serving of seasonal vegetables (时菜) fried with garlic and a plate of fruits.
For those who cannot do without their customary bowl of rice, check out their pork lard rice (猪油饭). At RM3 per bowl, it is not cheap but worth a try!

Besides this shop, outsiders go to this area also for this flat 'pau' sold one row in front of lyj. Usually there's a queue cant't miss it.

Thanks for sharing Mike. I've got a soft spot for fluffy paus. Best ones I have had so far hail from KK. Last time I was there for the City Day hunt, I brought 20-30 of these with me back home. Will definitely check out your recommendation next time I pay this village a visit.
If you are referring to Ying Ker Lau, yes I have recently tried their poon choi too (call it a poon choi craze lol). I loved it - though theirs (Ying Ker Lau) is definitely more expensive I find their quality and service to be much better.
