Summary
Modern Cantonese restaurant Canto Jade has recently opened at Cityplaza in Taikoo Shing, adding another new dining option to the mall's food lineup. The restaurant focuses on contemporary Cantonese dishes while reviving the old-style dim sum trolley, allowing diners to choose handmade dim sum tableside. During its opening promotion, dinner bookings for four or more can receive a complimentary half portion of the signature Jade scallion oil crispy chicken until September 11, subject to daily availability.
Key Points
- The signature “Eight Jade Birdcage Dim Sum” costs HK$238 for two pieces of each item and combines six handmade dim sum selections served all day.
- The six items are crystal shrimp dumplings, vegetable dumplings, black truffle siu mai, apple barbecued pork pastry, abalone chicken puff, and claypot salted egg yolk ball.
- Signature mains include a morel mushroom soup, tomato cheese baked beef with a 16-inch fried dough stick, rock-served crispy eel, flaming barbecued pork, and steamed minced pork with roe crab.
- The restaurant also runs a takeaway dessert counter called “Canto Sweet”, selling sweets, seasonal tea drinks, coffee, and items such as chess-shaped steamed rice cakes.
- Canto Jade is located at Shop 506, 5/F, Cityplaza, 18 Taikoo Shing Road, and opens 11am to 10:30pm on weekdays, with 9am weekend starts.
Why It Matters
For Hong Kong diners, the opening adds a new example of restaurants blending nostalgic tea-house service with updated Cantonese cooking. The return of the dim sum trolley may appeal to families and older customers who remember a style of yum cha that has become less common in recent years.
