Amazing Cantonese food on Decarie. Growing up, this is the food of my dad's side of the family. We would always start off the meal with a soup and order many many dishes until our tummy's were full and we were content. To explain Cantonese food, this is the food majority of the Chinese restaurants in Canada serve. Dishes are very saucy, braised meats, fried rice and noodles. Here everything was quite good. Some I liked better than others. I found the more North America dishes like ginger beef very sweet but maybe that is how some like it. The hot and sour was packed with vegetables but not as spicy as I preferred. Otherwise the preparation, appearance and taste of all else ordered was very good!
Here is the rundown of what we ordered:
1) hot and sour soup - 3.5/5 - loaded with vegetables
2) ginger beef - 3/5- too sweet
3) honey garlic spare ribs- 3.5/5 - a bit sweet but tasty
4) salted fish fried rice- 4.5/5- very delicious and lots of pieces of fish
5) Cantonese chow mein- 4.5/5 just as I like it with wok hei flavour and loaded with meat and veggies.
6) braised duck- 5/5- very complex layered flavour and the highlight of the night for me.
I definitely will return again! Thank you delicious. read more
