Let me just get this off my chest right now. I hate this place and I will never go back. There. Satisfied?
And also, Canton-i, you are not from Hong Kong, you don't even have an outlet in Hong Kong. Most probably from my guess, you are from Malaysia. Nothing against Malaysians, I just think its a misnomer. Inappropriate advertising. Like people say that they have truly Italian food when its not true. That upsets me.
What upsets me most? My stomach. Yes, you got it right. After heading to this restaurant, the wife and I suffered a case of food poisoning. So it was re-visiting Canton-i over and over again throughout the day. More accurately, 3 times. And the first time, almost an hour while walking around Orchard road.
I guess maybe I expected too much? The way Ion is positioning themselves as the "place to be," mall; is it really unreasonable to expect good tim sum?
The waiting list is a joke because there were more than enough empty seats in the restaurant, the service was bad, when you ask the server something, response is a blank stare. The char siew and roast pork were too gamey. Noodles were good but the gravy on it was unacceptable. And to top everything off ladies and ladies, the char siew pastry tasted like it had strong hints of lemongrass. Yes. Lemongrass. It wasn't bad that the har kow looked like they were from the freezer, but for average radish cake and egg tarts, and the price? Are you kidding me?
I expected more than that.
Canton-i, really?
Do yourself a favor, don't waste your time and money.
