It’s been a while since i’ve posted about this place, but i have eaten here quite often. There are certain cantonese dishes that i love to get from here, and whatever i dislike here, i like at High Pearl and vice versa. But this entry is really about the three things i absolutely love at this joint. hope you enjoy them too if you ever get the chance.
The Feast 
I always think its so funny that whenever i take a picture of the table everyone picks up their elbows in hopes of not getting in the way of the picture or drawing attention to themselves…but ultimately they end up drawing more attention to themselves if anything. LOL. Just act normal when i eat with you…especially when i take pics…candid shots are my favorites. lol.
Chinese Style Garlic Fried Chicken: $11.95 
I love getting this here…it’s always so fragrant, and i love putting a ton of the garlic/scallion medly into my hot bowl of rice with the juicy tender chicken…that’s always so hot and juicy…
Groper and Tofu Claypot: $11.95 
This is my favorite dish to get at Canton Gourmet…the fish, the shrooms, tofu, the veggies at the bottom are always perfectly cooked and perfectly flavored for me…I could eat this whole thing by myself…it’s THAT GOOD.
Famous Silver Golden Egg Fried Rice: $11.95 
And I’ve always loved specialty fried rices…but this one definitely takes the cake. It is to me the best fried rice i’ve ever had at a restaurant (please understand that when i say that this is the best i’ve had, this excludes all home cooked meals…as that just wouldn’t be fair.)
love the raisins and perfectly cooked egg…this rice compliments any and all dishes really well as its not overly salty or too bland.
Zee bill: 
Summation: As far as i’m concerned, my first review stands the same…This restaurant is a great place to grab a bite to eat…really good in large groups. The prices don’t bother me either.
I definitely recommend this place, whether busy or not, the food has been pretty consistent here.
CHEERS!
