I come from Guangzhou, a city in the south of China. Cantonese cuisine is characterized by light, delicious and tender, and the most representative is Guangzhou morning tea. Morning tea is one of the lifestyles of Guangzhou people. You can taste it in all major hotels and teahouses, including steamed buns, steamed dumplings, shrimp dumplings, barbecued pork buns and so on. It is not only varied, but also exquisite and unforgettable.
Besides morning tea, there is also a very famous food in Guangzhou, namely Guangdong Roasted Goose. Guangdong roast goose is very particular. It is necessary to select high-quality goose meat, and control the temperature and time when roasting, so as to make the goose skin crisp, tender, juicy and fragrant. Guangdong Roasted Goose is not only very popular in Guangzhou, but also a must-have food for food lovers in China and around the world.
In addition, there is a very famous food in Guangzhou, which is clay pot rice. Clay pot rice originated in Hong Kong and later spread to Guangzhou, which has become one of the daily diets of Guangzhou people. The practice of clay pot rice is very simple, that is, rice, meat, vegetables and other ingredients are put into a clay pot, and then cooked with fire, so that the flavors of the ingredients are fully blended, and the cooked rice is fragrant and unique in taste.
Finally, there is another kind of Cantonese food which is also a representative food in my hometown, and that is sugar-coated haws. Sugar-coated gourd is a traditional dessert, which is famous for its sweet and sour taste and bright colors. In Guangzhou, you can often buy candied haws in food stalls in streets and lanes, including strawberry candied haws, glucose candied haws, persimmon candied haws and so on.
