Silky pork wontons floating in a clear, savoury broth with green onion. On a cold Calgary evening this is the first thing that should reach your table - light, warming and the perfect opener before the wok dishes arrive.
A proper wonton soup is judged on two things: the wrapper and the broth. Our wontons are folded with a seasoned pork filling and cooked just until the pastry turns translucent and slippery, never boiled to the point of falling apart.
The broth stays clear and clean-tasting rather than heavy, so it works as a starter without filling anyone up before General Tso's Chicken or Cantonese Chow Mein lands. Add Spring Rolls and you have the classic Chinese takeout opening.
Wontons are dropped into the pot per order, and the broth is packed separately for delivery so the wrappers do not swell on the way to Falconridge, Whitehorn, Temple or Skyview Ranch. Pour it together at home and it eats like it just left the kitchen.
Light, not heavy
A clean broth wakes up the palate instead of filling you before the mains arrive.
Wrappers stay silky
Wontons go into the pot when your ticket does, so they never sit and soften.
Delivery-ready
Broth travels separately so nothing turns to mush between Castleridge and your door.
