About Taste Elements Cantonese

Taste Elements Cantonese delivers refined Cantonese dining in Mount Hawthorn without the usual fine-dining fuss. Inside the 12-table dining room—hung with the owner's original canvas paintings—the hospitality feels like joining a family feast. Diners make special trips for the house-roasted goose, turned out fresh with crackling skin and sweet plum sauce. Live seafood anchors the menu, from sweet lobster tossed over noodles to braised abalone layered across crystal mung bean vermicelli. Plates arrive with distinct wok hei, moving from fragrant black truffle fried rice to steamed coral trout scattered with ginger and spring onions.

  • House-Roasted Goose: Roasted fresh daily with crisp skin, tender meat, and tangy plum sauce alongside Hong Kong-style roast duck.
  • Live Tank Seafood: Tanks supply fresh coral trout, steamed sea bass, and lobster wok-tossed over noodles with punchy aromatics.
  • Banquet Specialties: Labor-intensive Hakka and Cantonese dishes, including braised abalone with crystal noodles and steamed boneless chicken with ham.
  • Intimate Art-Lined Setting: An intimate 12-table space lined with the owner's original artwork and hosted with personal warmth.
