Canton-I because... hungry-I

Trust in me... Just in me... Shut your eyes... And trust in me...
—Kaa, The Jungle Book

Well, NO.. these are not Kaa's eyes, but they sure have the same hypnotic effect I tell ya.
When the thick, hot oozy, salted egg yolk spilled out of the purple dumplings, I was hypnotized all right.

This is the best savoury dumpling dessert I have had in a long time! Canton-I's dumplings to die for. Go try.


The open kitchen concept, not unlike Dragon-I, the sister restaurant.


Sweet, sweet sauces waiting to drench little, succulent pork bodies.


Here is the mix platter of Charsiew, Siew Yoke. Approximately RM22 per portion, the Charsiew was sickly sweet whilst the Siew Yoke lacked the melt in your mouth/crispy crunch that the ones in Canton Fare, Solaris possessed.

Not bad but not great.



At first glance they look like brown pillows of air, afloat a white sea of CHOK (chinese porridge/congee).

I cannot describe the esoteric appeal that fried intestine holds for me. I cannot. Words fail me.


Add an extra portion if these brown, crunchy, lardy, airy intestine to your meal and know that the world is instantly, a better place.




Who ordered this? The Pork Trotter noodles came and we did not have the heart to send it away!

The trotter was thick, fleshy, fatty and it complemented the springy noodles.






Finally , I thought to myself why spoil such a wonderful lipid-meat infused meal with a boring, 'safe' dish as Sui Kau. Well, surprisingly good, I was pretty bowled over by this healthy bowl of soup. The Sui Kau was crunchy to the bite and the prawn and stuffings were as 'fresh' as a sailor who'd just come back from sea, to his bonny lass:P

What a great meal. Apart form the mix platter, we highly recommend this place, Canton-I, the Gardens!
