Just an afternoon of lunch with my dad and my grandpa.

Menu

Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.

Steamed Chicken's Claw with Chili Scallop Sauce (XO醬鳳爪) $80 NT

Steamed Chicken's Claw with Chili Scallop Sauce

The chicken claw here was actually pretty easy to eat since the meat just kind of slid off the bone.

Pork with Honey Pastry (蜜汁叉燒酥) $100 NT

Pork with Honey Pastry 

We thought that dining with 3 people today would be an awesome number for dim sum. But then... there came only two yummy pork pastries.

Roasted Pork Rice Noodles (叉燒腸粉) $120 NT

Roasted Pork Rice Noodles 

Steamed Yam with Taros Cake (山藥芋頭糕) $80 NT

Steamed Yam with Taros Cake 

The steamed cake was a little too dry for my liking

Assorted Barbecue Suckling Pig Plate (乳豬拼盤) $600 NT

Assorted Barbecue Suckling Pig Plate

I wasn't a huge fan of the duck in the assorted plate. The suckling pig was decent, but My Humble House still makes it better.

Crispy Fried Chicken (脆皮炸子雞) $600 NT

Crispy Fried Chicken 

I actually ordered this thinking it would be crispy stir fried chicken... big oops there. The chicken was a bit dry, but it was still good.

Clam and Sponge Cucumber (蛤蜊燴絲瓜) $320 NT

Clam and Sponge Cucumber

To my surprise, I very much enjoyed the soft sponge cucumbers and the nice flavors in the dish

Seafood Fried Noodles Cantonese Style (海鮮廣東炒麵) $320 NT

Seafood Fried Noodles Cantonese Style

We asked for our noodles and seafood sauce to be separated so that the noodles will remain crispy, but it really wasn't necessary. There was so much nicely cooked fresh seafood in the sauce, and the entire dish was good.

Canton Court has a huge selection when it comes to food. I'd have to say that the service is a little inattentive and inefficient for a hotel restaurant, but I would still recommend Canton Court.
