A HAPPY BELATED FATHERS' DAY TO ALL FATHERS' OUT THERE! Cheers! （ ^_^）o自自o（^_^ ）



For many children, their father is their first superhero. He protects, guides and
inspires a child.

This year has been an exception to me as my dad flew to China to work on Friday, and hence we had to bring forward our plans for Fathers' Day. It's funny when your father isn't walking around the house on this special day! I know some people always say that if you are filial to your parents, everyday is Mothers'/Fathers' Day, but I choose to believe that the day was created for a special reason - to show EXTRA appreciation.

I have been buying doggy-related presents for both Fathers' Day and his present for as long as I've remember (started some time ago along primary school?) since his Zodiac sign is the Dog :3 So now, his desk and sleeping area is full of them, from dog toys to dog cushions, bolsters, arm rest, and the list goes on. This year I bought him a mug with Disney's 101 Dalmations prints on it :D I got it cause it was awfully cute, and because I was tired of him stealing my cup to mix his cereal in it, and forgetting to wash properly, leaving dried cereal residue for me to scrub -_-"

My sister brought us to Canton Kitchen @ East Point Shopping Center (Simei) for our celebration dinner last week. I didn't blog about it as I was seriously pissed off with their service and the quality of the food they served. And I forgot to use to my camera while taking photos I brought it out *feel like a sotong*

Even though we have previously made reservations for an 6-course meal, they gave us a freaking tiny table when the restaurant was still very empty (actually when we left, not all the larger table seats were filled). The people were rather rude as well, so overall we were annoyed.



While pouring the tea, they somewhat spilled all over the table, leaving puddles of tea around, ha!



While waiting for food to be served...



Fried Soft-shelled Crab with Oats!

When I ate it on another day (weekday, not dinner time), it was really delicious and there was a lot of crab in it. But on that particular day, the flour coating the crab was so thick that it is about 60% of the dish. I picked a seemingly large piece, but all was floor, so I didn't really taste much flavour or anything :/



Nothing much to say about the sharkfin soup.. My sister can cook better :/



Mostly mushroom and fish maw (which I do not eat).



Longevity buns! Cute and very nice, haha! I love lotus paste!



Mian xian with Seafood. It usually tastes DAMN orga, but during that meal, it was just 'blahhhh', it was seriously lacking in flavour (bland?), so I think they left out something while cooking.



Roasted crispy chicken. I only took one piece because the rest of my family has already cleared the plate, so I guess it was good?



Vegetables with some shellfish and mushrooms.



FRIED FISH <3 The fish was really fresh so this dish was super good ^_^ I didn't eat a lot because there was a lot of bones and I have had the experience of choking on it, and having to go A&E to dig it out (which they failed and ultimately, my bone went down by peristalsis).

BEST DISH OF THE DAY *JANG JANG JANG JANG!* - Guilin Gao!



It's really good as it is cooling to the throat ^_^ Good for sore throats, but avoid it if you're coughing. It aggravates the cough!

Overall, I'm not dissing the restaurant, but improvements can be made to their service (the other time I went there, the wrong order was being served). Also, a word of advice - Only visit the restaurant on a weekday, when it's not too crowded / busy to taste really quality good food ;)
They kind of mess-up on weekends / when it is crowded. On the other hand, the service is somewhat the same on any day you go, not very unfriendly :/
