Taste of Saipan: Poon's Restaurant

Poon's Restaurant is a new Chinese establishment located also in Middle Road which definitely looks more classy in contrast to Tangji-a Chinese restaurant that we like and frequent. They have round tables to go with their black high back chairs that had caught my eye when we came to check it out. We came to visit when my colleague and friend Eve had gotten a $35 Gift Certificate from the restaurant and she called us all in for a lunch treat, otherwise I wasn't sure if I'd have the opportunity to drop in since its standing on an area where it is not much noticeable.

It was a pretty place with an all-year-round decorations we sure had fun pointing at each other. At first I commented how advance and ready they already are for Valentine's when we realized that other holiday decorations are either thrown around the room, hanging or plastered on the walls in greeting. They had Valentine's Day cut outs, Chinese New Year symbols and lanterns, Christmas wreaths and displays - you name it. Someone from our group then pointed out at an altar on a corner of the room and said out loud, "That one must be for All Soul's Day!" which got us all laughing. The food was good especially the deep fried chicken and the beef broccoli that we ordered in a very affordable price.
