Craving for some good local Cantonese fare?

 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.

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 $17.80

Freshest 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 dish

 This
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 cabbage

if 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 tried

tasted 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!

 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 dumplings

Unlikely some places where their red bean soup is thick and overly sweet

Joyden's verions is not as thick and tasted really healthy ! I like it..plus

the tang yuans are generously filled with peanuts!

 Chips 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.

 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.

 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.

 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.
