As always, the banchan (complimentary side dishes) were placed on the table shortly after we sat down. Anne trusted me to choose the dishes, and it didn't take me long to decide what to order (this usually happens when you've been to a place many times before and know what is good from experience). I forgot how big the serving sizes are, and over-ordered for the two of us. The Chapchae (stir fried sweet potato noodles) was good as usual, and this was Anne's favourite dish of the meal.
The cold banchan included mushrooms, tofu, spicy daikon and beansprouts namul; and the tasty Chapchae:
The Kaki Chijimi (Oyster "Pancake") was delicious with large plump juicy oysters, but we needed more people at the table to share the portion as it got too rich by the third oyster. I also ordered Possam (steamed pork with leafy vegetables) which was also too much for the two of us and I had to ask to take leftovers home. Anne didn't appreciate the slightly sweet flavour in the spicy vegetable relish that came with the Possam, and I guess she is not a big fan of sweet flavours in non-dessert dishes, nor using her hands to eat! She said the dish was okay, but that she liked the other dishes better.

We were absolutely stuffed when we left Kanton, but we did stop by the hoddeok vendor to get some Honey-flavoured Hoddeok to bring home for my sister (who was babysitting Zak) and my hubby (who had to work that Sunday morning).
