Re-visiting Joyden Canton Kitchen

Joyden Canton Kitchen, hak gam olive fried rice 黑金梅州炒饭

I wanted to come back to Joyden Canton Kitchen for their smoky hak gam olive fried rice (黑金梅州炒饭). Still delicious as I remember it with the savoury dark soya sauce profile and preserved olive leaves that's peppered with bits sweetness from the pork floss.

Joyden Canton Kitchen, red grouper fillet Pine Mushroom and Cloud-Ear Fungus in Superior Rice Wine Broth

Today was also a chance to try their sliced red grouper fillet in Chinese rice wine soup which I spied the last time. Nice. Google search identifies pine mushroom listed for this dish on their menu as matsutake but these aren't so I'm not sure what kind they are. There's wood ear fungus in it as well so the ingredients are not bad. 

Joyden Canton Kitchen, roasted duck

Don't think they do great roast duck here. The skin's lacking crisp while there isn't enough fat underneath for flavour. Meat's also not as tender and for the price tag, it wasn't unreasonable to expected better. Will not be getting this again.
