Canton House in Dublin

A simple, bare counter belies a tradition of Chinese/Malay takeaway food that crosses continents. The spice bag? Perfection. But the real treasure lies in seeing beyond the traditional. The mixed veg in peppercorn sauce with a side of spiced rice are bright and crisp, with the gravy awakening the senses. The vegetarian spring roll? Almost roti-like in its crispness. A conversation with the owner is a history lesson in immigrant food in Ireland. Ducks are roasted daily, prawns are considered as a food of common heritage. Was I a bit tipsy every time I came in? Sure. Was it home? Yes.

Nice chicken lovely curry sauce

Got the crispy duck with garlic sauce to go and it was amazing! Enjoyed the chicken and sweetcorn soup as well. The owner of the store was also nice to recommend dishes to us to our liking.
