A taste of summer and a bite of chocolate
Summer delights at Canton Table
Canton Table, Three on the Bund’s Cantonese newly renovated Cantonese concept, has launched a new summer menu crafted by chef Eason Man, featuring the season’s best produces and bright flavors.
The poached luffa with black fungus and squash in scallop (198 yuan/US$29.9) is a dish that puts summer on a plate. This seasonal vegetable not only highlights a unique umami flavor, but also has heat clearing properties, pairing it with the silky scallop is definitely a win-win.
For entres, the pan-fried ginger chicken (138 yuan), sautéed M5 beef with mushroom and water chestnut (198 yuan) both celebrate the flavors of home cooking with high quality ingredients and tried and tested cooking techniques.
Canton Table's dim sum menu is also worth checking out. A special dish is the fried shrimp dumpling that's quite different from the traditional steamed dish.
Man has more than 30 years of knowledge and experience of traditional Cantonese cuisine, bringing diners in Shanghai both home-style cooking and sophisticated delicacies.
The restaurant’s Chinese wine inspired cocktails are worth to try, like “Drifting Dream” which combines Chinese yellow wine with ginger, red date, lychee and tangerine to create a warm and spicy sensation.
Canton Table also offers tea pairings with its dishes.

A chocolaty afternoon tea
