This should start from the19th century. /kloc-in the 0/9th century, a large number of Chinese flooded into the United States, so Chinatown, the base of Chinese, was established. And these China people, who are basically Cantonese, go to trade and rent shops from foreigners to do business. However, foreigners' food often doesn't suit China people's tastes, and these Cantonese people who gather in large numbers start to open restaurants to satisfy their appetites, and at the same time, they can also promote Chinese cuisine to the world.
Because we are all Cantonese, Cantonese food is Cantonese food, so we open a Cantonese restaurant. Later, although mainlanders immigrated to the past and opened other restaurants, because most of Chinatown is Cantonese, these mainlanders will live for their own restaurants, so they will when they open restaurants? Do as the Romans do? And learn a few Cantonese dishes to keep up the show and attract customers. Later, Chinese people spread all over the world, and basically every country will have Chinatown.
However, since overseas Cantonese people account for 60% or more of the total population, these restaurants should learn how to cook Cantonese food for this part of China people. After so many years of development abroad, Cantonese cuisine has also become a symbol of Chinese food. In the inherent thinking of foreigners, Cantonese cuisine is equal to Chinese food. It's a pity, however, that there are millions of kinds of delicious food in China. Dead-headed foreigners only recognize Cantonese cuisine, and some stay away from other cuisines. Fortunately, in recent years, some foreigners have begun to try other cuisines, which is a good sign.
