We learned a lot about Chinatown and the food that is important to the culture. Chef Poon was delightful-very witty and also serious and thoughtful. We loved visiting the different shops, the temple, and the supermarket. I missed seeing the herbalist shop this time. Wish we had time for the big store. It would be great to have a list of stores visited, and the addresses, to be given out at the end of the meal. The meal was delicious and I'm not a big Chinese foodie.

We enjoyed the Tour and Chef Poon's fun personality, he is a really good guy, we had a good time with our group. However , we were disappointed with the meal which was average. The soup was the best part of the meal. Hopefully, he will make improvements after reading the reviews.
