They were about Indian imagination of China on a plate. The pandemic forced its shutters down, but the restaurant resurfaced in Teynampet again this year. A few months on, in a city where pan-Asian menus keep getting sleeker and more global, Canton remains a time capsule. It still serves the food you remember, the food that shaped how the city first tasted the Orient.
