Although it is said that "food in Guangzhou, cooking out of Fengcheng", but Guangdong is very big ah, a lot of places in the food are self-contained faction (Canton cuisine, Chaozhou cuisine, Hakka cuisine, etc.), perhaps the local partners in Guangdong are not necessarily distinguishable.
So, the Guangdong TV station personally, shot a set of documentaries - "taste of Canton", hoping to popularize the rich and colorful Guangdong food culture to the people of the country.
When I saw the name, I instantly had a good feeling, thinking that Guangdong is awesome, dare to be the first in the world ah! Because a few years ago, "Tongue on the China" was a big hit, so all the food documentaries around the country are called "Tongue on the XX", and the shooting style is also the same.... The same style of filming....
However, after opening the movie, I was disappointed to find that, in addition to the name without "tongue tip", the rest is all the same old .... The first time I saw this, I was so happy to see it, and I was so happy to see it.
The movie itself is pretty great.
The first episode is called " Fresh", which not only refers to the fresh flavor, but also the pursuit of freshness of the ingredients, after all, the former is largely dependent on the latter.
For example, this lychee mushroom, as long as the picking time is half an hour late, the purchase price will fall by half. Because the mushroom tips open, the flavor will also be greatly reduced.
With the kind of Yunnan several kinds of superb mushrooms are different, lychee mushrooms do not have a strong fresh aroma, but with a fruity flavor of the elegant and fresh sweet, after all, it is long in the lychee forest, yes it is the most famous Lingnan Zengcheng lychee! This kind of mushroom just need to steam it is very good taste.
The first episode of "The Taste of Lao Guang"
The third episode is called "time", which is better understood, as the saying goes, "four orders, eight times, from time to time, not to eat", in the vernacular is to respect the seasons and seasons, close to the local food selection.
In this episode, the most impressive thing is the people of Chaoshan's favorite - thin-shelled rice, a kind of cheap and big bowl, but there is a magical addictive civilian snacks, also known as "sea melon seeds".
Every happy seaside city has its own "sea melon seeds".
The third episode of Taste of Laoguang
The fourth episode is called "Jing", which refers to finding the most suitable way to handle each ingredient. The focus is not on the simplicity or complexity of the cooking process, but on the spirit of real foodies who are constantly researching and exploring.
The famous "Oyster Master" has researched the "Oyster Gate Nine Styles" with their own specialties.
In some ancient towns in Guangdong, even if you buy a small portion of roast duck, the shopkeeper will carefully cut it up, then wrap it in lotus leaves and hand it over to you.
Food writer Zhang Xinmin also stars in this episode, bringing you raw pickled green crab, known as "poison," which is more strongly flavored than the drunken crabs of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and China.
As well as the whole country knows, Mr. Zhang Xinmin in his own home under the bed collection of many treasures fish glue ....
The fifth and final episode is called "Make", and it's all about the "fine work of coarse materials", where working people use their wisdom to bring out the extraordinary flavors of ordinary ingredients, which is a kind of creativity that shows that you can't live a life that's too rough.
The most important thing to remember is that you can't live too rough.
The most impressive thing is the wide range of kuey teow.
There are also Cantonese desserts represented by double-skinned milk and ginger milk. In the movie, it is said that because Guangdong is humid and rainy, people are prone to depression, so they need desserts to heal... Sounds reasonable to me.
You may have noticed why the second episode was left out... Because this episode is the most high-powered and is bound to scare some people away, so it was put last.
The reason why Guangdong is called "Eat Province" is not only because the food is delicious, but also because Guangdong people dare to eat anything. In fact, this is just a stereotype of the north of Guangdong (a joke: in the eyes of the Guangdong people, in addition to Hainan, other places are the north).
But it's true that in some parts of Guangdong, the recipes are a little broader. The episode is called " Bias", and as the name suggests, it talks about several offbeat foods that most people have trouble accepting.
For example, eating harvested worms raw ....
When I saw this cute bamboo rat, I suddenly had an uneasy feeling ....
This uncle, who breeds bamboo rats, even mixes Chinese medicine for them, which is used to treat postpartum depression in female bamboo rats...
The next minute the picture becomes this ....
The brine osmanthus cicadas (because it comes with its own osmanthus fragrance) are eaten in steps that are rather like eating crabs:
Episode 2 of Taste of Laoguang
Watching this movie on B site, I saw many Cantonese buddies posting pop-ups, saying that they don't eat these things at all!
So many Cantonese food,
Which one do you like best?
