Canton-i (Closed)

Just have my lunch in this beautifully renovated Chinese restaurant in Orchard. The dining environment was cosy and spacious. Service was quite prompt and smily from most of the waitress. Had tried their fried rice, which portion was quite generous and fragrant. lots of diced char siew and scrambled eggs can be found inside, which make it very tasty. The prawn dumplings are fill with crunchy fresh prawns, however the dumpling's skins are too thick and hard in texture. The char siew bao has

Canton-i, located on the upper levels of ion, is a casual Hong kong dining place. Such hong kong restaurants are famous for a number of things, and one of it is their roasted meat. I had the 2 mixed noodle, and chose roasted duck and char siew. Meat serving wise was quite small. Their duck skin is crispy, while the meat is tender and flavorful. The char siew however, is too fatty for my liking even though it seemed that char siew with considerable amount of fats is supposed to be better tasting.

Being a big bao fan, how can I allow myself not to eat at Canton-I? I have heard of their baos for the longest time. Finally had the chance to eat it. We just had to order the yummy 流沙包 ( custard/salted egg yolk bun)The skin is purple because they added taro to it. Salted yolk bun is not a salted yolk bun if the liquid yolk doesn't flow out of the bun!This one passed the test! Big serving!I love this chee chong fun. Couldn't finish this XO carrot cake..It's nice but oily :X You just have to ea

We wanted to treat Grandma to a really good birthday meal this year, so my aunt suggested Canton-i, since old people normally like to eat pig and duck. FOODThis is their famous crispy suckling pig dish - we had the smallest size one, and it was solely for the pleasure of my grandma, so I didn't get to even smell it. But it was so damn good that she couldn't stop praising the chef. If you think the mini dish (about $25) is a little too small, you can always get the half-sized one, worth $98, or o

I wanted to bring my family for dim sum lunch but unsure which place have nice cantonese styled dim sum. Decided to try Canton -I at Ion Orchard. The dishes are deliciously fantastic. Their fried rice with salted fish is heavenly. There are a few dishes to try out. Namely there chee cheong fan, egg tarts, char shao shao rou, siew mai. The service is good and place is ideal and conveniently located. A must try!

This place brings together a marriage of my favourite things. it might not be the best salted egg yolk bun restaurant around but at least the custard is flowy.and look!it's purple and it's taro and it comes in psychedelic spirals. Sometimes i will eat it for how it looks.but i'm recommending this not just based on looks alone, its got a good bite to it. Yummy thin skin that's got enough yam flavour. Also like the flowy salted egg yolk filling which is served piping hot in a bamboo dim sum basket

Had my dinner at Canton I as i was craving for some soupy wanton mee. Spicy Drunken Chicken- A cold dish. Steamed white chicken served in spicy sauce. If you cant take spicy food, not recommended as it was really spicy. However, it is a must for all spicy food lover to try!Fried Carrot Cake- Stir fried with XO sauce. Shrimp wanton mee soup - really remind me of what i had in Hong Kong!Overall, it was a very good meal however, the price is quite steep.

So my mum had a craving for canton-i so here we find ourselves again and this time for dinner.fried white bait for appetizers. I wish the batter was crispier but it was enough to keep my dad happy.The szechuan style fish slices were fresh.But the soup you must be warned.It left a numbing aftertaste.It must be due to the szechuan peppercorns used.But these lotus slices?I loved.Crisp and crunchy.Flash fried to perfection.With honey macadamia and celery, carrots.Yums!

TOO CUTE!and it would be hilarious if they had char siew in these.to be honest it was just for aesthetic reasons. those colored bits were much tougher than normal pau skin.but these had red bean paste.and they were yummy!These liu sha baos were good. But they have to be eaten fresh and hot.Otherwise the custard wouldn't flow.But hey, these yam skin buns had a distinct taste of yam and if you're a yam lover like me,definitely order them!

there is certain timing to purchase these piggys..once u exceed the timing, they are only available unsteamed..it about $12 i think, can't really remember cos got it in a rush..it's simply DELICIOUS..the skin is very smooth, it's not very thick compare to normal bun..the paste is just nice, not too sweet for me too..attractive to kids! you can consider trying their roast pork belly too..it's very crispy when bite!

After Last visit to here, decide to come back for more Xiao Long Bai, and ordered Canton-i Egg Tart as the stuff there recommended and told us this is one of their signature so I gave it a try and yes the cust was awesomely nice egg was sweet and nice. I will definitely go back for more when i come back to ION again. Atmosphere was great as not much of people there when we visit and ya was quiet and relax.

Walking around in ION and thinking what for tim sum as there many Chinese HK restaurant around and random picked Canton-i and ordered Xiao Long Bao as i always had the craving for XLB. The skin is soft and smooth, as meat was surrounded by the tasty soup which make a perfect combination and will simply slide down your throat . Becareful as it is damn hot. =( It also mix well with vinegar.

I've always had a thing for chinese food, Hong Kong cuisine especially! My friends and I went to Canton-i the other day at Orchard ION. Fabulous food! My favourite "liu sar pao" aka salted egg bun was super awesome. Salty yet sweet... It's like the best of both worlds! A little too pricey however I'd say. Lower the price a little bit for us, the penniless peasants?

Half an hour more before dim sum ends. We ordered a few dishes to ease our hunger and craves for dim sum. I had custard bun. It looked really presentable and it's pretty small too. Not too bad but i have had better ones elsewhere. This is just average. The bun is soft and a little chewy and the custards are not really smooth and flowy. I also had shark's fin dumpling. The dumpling is huge and the soup is tasty. Need to add a little vinegar to taste. All in all, servie and ambience is good. Food

On my quest to find the best Xiao Long Bao in Singapore. I have to say Canton-i at Ion Orchard has to be it. My boyfriend too agreed that these were pretty darn good. The skin is thin and smooth, the meat is melt in your mouth tasty and filled with plenty of meaty soupy goodness inside. Pick up one of those wooden soup spoon and a pair of chopsticks. Gently lay down one of those tender, juicy dumplings so that it drapes seductively in your spoon.
