It can be hard to avoid the Maxim's chain when you want to eat Chinese food at Cityplaza but the House of Canton serves as a decent alternative. I've been here for dim sum several times during lunch on weekdays. The menu was decent with plenty of choices. Unfortunately the service can be lacking as the lunch crowd gets pretty full and busy.Deep Fried Beef Brisket ($58) - it's seemingly harder to find a restaurant that serves this dish as the place I get it at has stopping serving it.

Deep Fried Beef Brisket ($58) - it's seemingly harder to find a restaurant that serves this dish as the place I get it at has stopping serving it. The beef brisket was fatty and tender while the outside batter was thin and crispy. Not the best but still solid here.
Chinese Roast Pork Belly ($70) - the roast pork was a bit lean and not as flavorful as others I've had. Not too shabby but nothing special either.
Fried Tofu ($42) - the fried tofu was cooked nicely as the outside was crispy while the tofu was still very soft on the inside. The tofu was flavorful with spices and pepper sprinkled on top while the vinegar dipping sauce was my preferred choice of condiment with the tofu.
Vegetarian Goose ($45) - one word: horrible! Unlike the usual fried vegetarian goose that comes with a thin bean curd skin, the dish here came with a thick batter which was limp and oily. Would not recommend.
Beef Tripe with Ginger & Green Onion ($30) - the beef tripe was snappy and not too tough to cheese. The sauce was flavorful and not goopy, which went well with the tripe.
Black Bean Chicken Feet ($27) - another classic dim sum dish that was solid here. The chicken feet was not overcooked while the sauce was nicely marinated into the chicken feet.
