Quality dining without fuss each and every day
Print Edition
CANTEEN Road is the type of everyday dining spot for both lunches and dinners for those who prefer authentic, decent, no-fuss Cantonese specialties right in the center of the city, inside the Kerry Center on Nanjing Road W.
During lunch time, well-dressed people from nearby office buildings line up for some simple noodles with a milk tea and after work, a group of friends settle into one of the cozy seating booths and treat themselves to traditional delicacies and a decent selection of well-made BBQ or seafood.
The interior was recently upgraded with a fresh blue and white color theme, giving off a clean yet warm vibe for quality dining that you can enjoy every day. The team is dedicated to creating a sense of “place” for anyone, anytime.
The dishes are well executed by a newly appointed chef from Guangdong Province who has more than 20 years of cooking experiences in top restaurants and hotels. Classic homey Cantonese dishes are given a refined, light twist while maintaining maximum flavor. The dishes are authentic, taste mild and fresh, and the menu gives a range of choices at good prices.
Cantonese food lovers can delight in the all-time crowd pleasers such as the Cantonese BBQ selection including soy sauce chicken, roasted meat, boneless Hainan chicken and other Hong Kong-style dishes.
I tried one of my favorite home-style Cantonese recipes — steamed meatloaf with salted fish and water chestnut (66 yuan). The meat was sweet and tender, interspersed with crunch from bits of water chestnut and high-quality salted fish that imparted a heady fishy pungence and an intense dose of saltiness to the minced pork that not all might find appealing. I really enjoyed this typical Cantonese dish that is a perfect pairing with rice and less-tasty noodles.
For those who prefer seafood dishes, opt for wok-fried fish head with ginger and shallots (78 yuan), stir-fried scallops and shrimps with celery, cashew nuts (88 yuan) and wok-fried razor clam with ginger and shallots (78 yuan).
Besides the many choices of meat, seafood and vegetables, there is a wide selection of noodles, rice and congee according to different preferences. I tried the noodle with sliced pork liver, ginger and shallot. Made with a fragrant broth, it was delicious, clean and soothing.
