Joyden Canton Kitchen is situated in HillV2, a shopping mall located near Upper Bukit Timah. I'm amazed at how these dishes feels like home-cooked dishes. Oh and I love how reasonably priced the dishes are at Joyden Canton Kitchen, their one size pricing/portion can eat up to 2 to 3 people. A key feature on Joyden’s menu would be using ‘wok hei’ (prepare and cook in a hotpot, or a black wok) method. The difference from this to the rest is the added ingredient of Rosewater, which enhances to the sweetness of the chicken as well as the sauce.Unlike other typical coffee pork ribs, this prime pork ribs are braised to perfection to achieve the fall-off-the-bone texture. Mandrain peel not only brings out the aroma but is also beneficial in digesting factor. Eating this is no fuss as the meat comes off really easily and is so soft.An alternative of staple to rice would be this, wok-fried rice vermicelli tossed with crabmeat, fresh and dried scallop, and finished with a swirl of vinegar and a dash of pepper. Tasted like fish maw soup to me.For the full review, please visit http://nkikichua.blogspot.sg/2014/12/joyden-canton-kitchen-hillv2-singapore.html continue reading

Just last week, I was caught in a dilemma. It wasn't too difficult to get myself out of it..I just needed some time , a good sense of directions as well as knowledge of getting myself from Point A to Point B in the shortest of time and the least of public transport transfer.Last week's food tasting saw me going from the east to west , spending almost an hour or so on public transportation . At the end of dinner, I was glad I made the choice of attending ~~! To be honest, I was already sold when I took the first bite of food at Joyden Canton Kitchen. Being located at a relatively new mall, HillV2, it may be daunting to travel there especially if one stays in the east. Joyden Canton Kitchen is part of the popular Joyden Seafood Restaurant located at West Coast. Frankly, I have never tried their food before so I have no expectations whatsoever that evening.Upon entering the spacious restaurant , I was attracted to the minimalistic interior, and I particularly like the use of wood for some of the decor. It took Joyden 6 mths that involved extensive trips to various parts of Guangdong , trying out dishes etc to conceptualized the menu. Soups at Joyden It is without a doubt that Cantonese love their soups. Joyden certainly lives up to expectations with its interpretation of a Foshan Classic - Chicken with Fresh Huai Shan and Wolfberry in Old Coconut Soup. Can't believe how clear and light the soup is, and simply love the after taste sweetness that comes across the palate. Great for sharing among 2-3 persons. $12.80 The 2nd dish isn't really a soup but has a broth..Signature Sliced Grouper Fillet with Pine Mushroom & Black Fungus in Rice Wine Broth $17.80Freshest of ingredients ,cooked in rice wine, makes this a very comforting dish ! I love the usage of rice wine ! Chickens at Joyden There are two must try chicken dishes at Joyden. It was a tough choice if you ask me which one of the two is my favorite. Both are cooked differently and both taste equally good!This is one of their signature dish - Soy Sauce Chicken. It looks as good as it taste! Marinated with secret blend of supieroir light sauce and other herbs, the chicken is tender.Rosewater is being used as well and it adds a refreshing and slight floral sweetness to this dishThis may look like hainanese chicken to you but wait ..it is actually Hakka salt poached farm chicken ($17). It is cooked in a salt and herbal stock and rested to fully absorb the flavours before it is eaten by us with Joyden's homemade ginger puree ! Served at room temperature, the meat is tender n we love it with the ginger You will love this dish Braised homemade beancurd coin with poached shanghai baby cabbageif you enjoy cooked till super soft cabbage!These are homemade patties of beancurd, seafood and veggie fried till golden brown. I particularly enjoy the easy to eat beancurd and the milky broth that was made from boiling pork bones for hours . The combination goes pretty well ! This is another NOT TO BE MISSED dish !Just by looking at this pic is enough to make me salivate ! Home made by Joyden is the premium XO sauce made of dried scallops( 干贝) and jin hua ham ( 金华火腿）which is used in this Fish Maw & Prawns with glass noodles dish everything is mixed with this slightly spicy sauce and I like how the tang hoon ( glass noodles ) soak up the sauce..Being a chili lover, I though this could have been spicier There is no ending to Joyden's star dishes..coz it seems like the food we triedtasted just amazingly good! Braised pork ribs in aged mandarin peel isn't like the usual Chinese zi char kind. The meat is "chopstick tender" Almost like what you eat at some ribs restaurant. Cooking method is pretty interesting..first braised, then infused with special aged mandarin peel sauce before being broiled! Joyden not just serves meat dishes,they also have seafood inspired ones!~Signature Traditional Rice Vermicelli with Poached Egg White, Crab meat & Scallophehee..protein laden dish !!The bee hoon is soaked with the gravy and I love it with lots of vinegar and pepper Mix it all up ! To complement your meal at Joyden, you can try the coolingHomemade Hawthorne and Apple Drink 山楂苹果水 Healthy and great for digestion!We gotta end the meal on a sweet note shouldn't we? Most of us chose the Red Bean soup with dumplingsUnlikely some places where their red bean soup is thick and overly sweetJoyden's verions is not as thick and tasted really healthy ! I like it..plusthe tang yuans are generously filled with peanuts! 龟苓膏 Chilled herbal jellyHighly recommended after the meal great for cooling downand good for those with a 'heaty' disposition One can't go wrong with ordering this classic favorite 白果薏米 Barley and gingko nuts drink.Just the right taste of sweetness for me Joyden Canton Kitchen is truly a gem and is the ideal location a birthday celebration,get together with friends and family or just a meal after work ! It is a place I can go back again and again continue reading

I guess westies will be familiar with the ever popular Joyden Seafood @ West Coast. Now, the group has set its sights to wow the west again with Joyden Canton Kitchen. Located in the Upper Bukit Timah Hillview Area, Joyden Canton Kitchen @HillV2 serves up authentic yet contemporary Canton cuisine. What to expect at Joyden Canton Kitchen? Cantonese food of course, but with some twists. Let's start the food rolling.Crispy Golden Lotus Root ChipsChips which are healthy and so tasty! A first for me, thinly sliced lotus root, fried till crisp. I wanted to bring home for snacks but they said that it should be eaten fresh. Well, a reason to go back. Found this dish to be really innovative. Joyden Signature Soy Sauce Chicken The reason why the salt poached chicken didn't get a 5 hands. This soy sauce chicken was exceptional. Try it to believe it. Much has to be lauded for the secret blend of sauce and herbs. Also, rosewater is used to give the chicken that tender texture and robust flavour. I'm actually craving for it now as I type. Fish Maw and Prawns with Glass Noodles in XO Sauce The entire dish is cooked in that black claypot which gives off that mouthwatering smoky 'wok hei' flavour to the glass noodles. Ingredients used were all of good quality and I must say another favorite of the night. I have been here one more time for this since being invited for the tasting. If you are thinking of the one dish to order here, this would be it. Sliced Grouper Fillet Probably the only average dish we had all night. Decently done in the claypot. Braised Homemade Beancurd with Baby Cabbage One hand less to perfect because I felt that the beancurd could be better done. Don't be focus on those balls and set your sight below. Those Poached Shanghai Baby Cabbage are what you should be eyeing for. The leaves are so tender, it melts completely into your mouth at first bite. Let's hope it stays that way for some time. overall review: for my full review and pictures @ http://shauneeie.blogspot.sg/2014/12/joyden-canton-kitchen-hillv2.html continue reading
