My Family's Favorite Cantonese Cuisines

Seafood Clay Pot Tofu
Other than Chinese Malaysian cuisines, which we would rather home cook or which we would enjoy during potlucks, my family loves Cantonese cuisines. And the favorite restaurant we like to dine at is none other than HONS Wun Tun House. In fact, last week we frequent there as many as three occasions. We went to the Chinatown HONS twice and once at their New Westminster outlet. We like HONS not so much as to its authenticity or presentations but because of the convenience and its favorable menu item prices.

Honey Garlic Spare Ribs
We have dined in more established and lavished Chinese restaurants in Vancouver, and still found HONS to be more favorable to us. In fact the taste of its cuisines are by no means worst than the other Chinese restaurants. They have a lot of choices on their menu, serving tim sum for breakfast, then lunch and followed by their dinner menu. They are also open seven days a week. So, you will never be caught going to a restaurant on their rest day.

Stir Fried Beef Strips
Although, their menu is quite elaborate, we still prefer the few favorite cuisines that we are fond of. Both my wife and I often leave the selections to our kids when we dine at HONS. They have familiar themselves with the same cuisines because we have dined here so frequent. Our favorite at the Chinatown outlet is always the Spicy Rock Salt Shrimps and the Seafood Clay Pot Tofu. At times we will also order the Fried Chicken Wings and Fried Silver Fish. When we dine at the New westminster outlet, the choices of the Cantonese cuisines changes.

Spicy Rock Salt Shrimps
At the New Westminster outlet, we like the Stir Fried Beef Strips with the Sweet Sauce, Honey Garlic Spare Ribs, and again the Seafood Clay Pot Tofu. I think we have about ten different favorite cuisines that we select from in each outlet. And each time we dine at HONS, we select about four or five cuisines from that ten favorite choices, depending on how many people we have in our party. We have been dining at HONS for so many years and still hasn't grown bored of the food they serve. HONS is just an old fashion Chinese Restaurant still serving some of the most authentic Cantonese cuisines in the lower mainland.

Fried Silver Fish
But sometime, HONS do have a new cuisine or two. Just like, they recently promoting their Bubble Tea Beverage. I think they have finally realized that diners are getting younger and they too need to change and adapt to this trend. During our last visit to HONS, one of the waitresses introduced us to a new fried fish cuisine that we had never tried before. So, we asked her to add that new Fried Silver Fish cuisine to our orders. And it turned out to be pretty good too. We liked it.
