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.
FOOD
Crispy suckling pig
This 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 one whole suckling pig, worth $198, as shown in their menu.

Roasted Peking Duck
All three images above show the famous Peking duck (my favorite!) that got me drooling all over. I swear it's
that good. I ate
more than half of it, ignoring my family members; pardon me for being just a little bit selfish when it comes to excellent food.
Dried scallops and wild mushroom
All of us were going for the mushroom in this dish. It was gone in 5 mins! Lol.
Double boiled whole wintermelon soup with seafood treasure
Wintermelon soup, something I'll never get sick of
Saureed cod fish roll with brocolli
This fish was quite average, nothing too special to rave about it though.
Mango sago dessert
They didn't have the Double Boiled Fungus with Papaya and Almond dessert that we wanted, so we went for mango sago instead, which was equally good.
SERVICEThe service was GREAT. They have very friendly staff who were polite and agreeable to requests such as dividing the soup into an extra bowl and having more sauce. One female staff even brought an abalone to my aunt just because she wanted to see what it looked like in tightly-sealed packaged form. Thumbs up.
The bill was around $250, slightly expensive, but totally worth it if you ever want to treat yourself once a year.
