Hawaiian Poke Bowl
Poke (pronounced poh-kay), simply means “to cut crosswise into pieces.” It’s a simple dish made of chopped raw fish generally tuna, marinated in soy sauce and sesame oil, and mixed with onion. Poke is rooted in the days when native Hawaiian fishermen would slice up smaller reef fish and serve them raw, seasoned with whatever were on hand—usually condiments such as sea salt, candlenut, seaweed and limu (the Hawaiian word for algae). Now you’ll find many variations of Poke when you visit restaurants or markets around Hawaii.

In 2014, a Chenghua jigangbei, or "chicken cup", created in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), was auctioned for HK$280 million ($36 million) at Sotheby's in Hong Kong.
Why one sold for such a high price?
The technique of doucai (literally meaning "colors that fit together"), which was difficult to achieve in the 15th century. The appreciation of the Chenghua "chicken cup" should go back to the real value of the ceramic, that is, its beauty rather than its price or technique.
