It Just Has To Be Delicious

Our favourite local yum cha joint has closed down, so we had to find a new one. There are really not many places in the Northern suburbs, so we decided to look at Northbridge again and settled for Canton Roe on Roe Street.

There’s 3 hours free parking at the Cultural Centre car park, which is always a bonus in central Perth. Canton Roe is busy and sometimes appears chaotic, but is incredibly well organised. We didn’t have to wait long before being seated.

When you order tea, you get a bowl of chilli sauce too, always good for dipping dumplings.

They have all the favourites on the menu, and the quality of the food is very good.

We chose:

Xiao long bao
Seafood sui mai
Seaweed prawn rolls
“Footballs” minced pork dumplings
Har Gow prawn dumplings
Stir Fried radish cake in XO sauce

All of the dishes were really good, and excellent quality. The prawn in the seaweed rolls was plentiful, the football dumplings were crispy on the outside with a very tasty mince filling, sui mai were wonderfully delicious with a nice amount of roe on top. I think we’ve found our new favourite, Canton Roe is the real deal.

Last Visit – we’ll be coming here a lot so likely in the last few weeks!
