Dine Out 12 @ Canton Kitchen, Happy Garden

We had our monthly family eat-out on a Friday evening (14 Aug).
This round we chose to dine in the nearby Canton Kitchen based on good reviews from some 'makan blogs'.
We were 'transported' back to the 1950s/60s with old shops and cinemas inside the restaurant.
We were seated in front of the good ol' Lido Cinema!
 I m looking forward to the upcoming Bruce Lee film!
 There is a 'stall' next to the cinema selling ais kacang, bottled drinks and candies...Old charm!
I would be so excited if these are real!
 And not far from there, a tailor shop.
I wanna book a tight fitting tailor-made cheongsam for the next CNY....lol!
It's so 'happening' at this old street...but my eyes are on these mooncakes!
*yes, these are real mooncakes
there are samplings too, but I did not try.
Soon after 'visiting' each shop and the mooncake kiosk, our dishes arrived....
We had:
Sweet & sour pork (RM18)
nicely done and flavorful to go with rice
Fish head curry (RM28)
thick curry but not spicy
Guangxi stuffed taupok (RM13)
looks plain, the stuffing is similar to our yong tau foo.
we ordered 5 pieces (one for each of us)
Salted egg french bean (RM15)
this is my fav, I can finish this whole dish!
and Chinese wine chicken soup (RM23)
if u like strong Chinese wine taste, this dish is for you!
5 dishes for 5 pax
Let's dig in...
Overall the dishes are quite OK, we don't get thirsty after the meal and price is reasonable too.
Total price for this meal inclusive of rice, tea (RM12), plus 5% service charge and 6% service tax is RM123.00 nett.
We will definitely be back here again.
BON APPETIT!
