Smooth fish balls are a traditional Guangdong dish. The fish meat used is originally in the shape of a rectangular block.

5. Sweet and Sour Sweet and Sour Pork
Sweet and Sour Sweet and Sour Pork, also known as "ancient meat", began in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, many foreigners in Guangzhou liked to eat Chinese food very much. I especially like to eat sweet and sour pork ribs, but I am not used to spitting out the bones when eating. Guangdong chefs mixed boneless meat with seasoning and starch to make large meatballs. They were fried in oil until crispy and coated with sweet and sour marinade. The meatballs were sweet and sour and were very popular among Chinese and foreign guests. Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs has an older history, and now it has been renamed "ancient meat" after being remade.
Foreigners are not sure about the pronunciation, so they often call "ancient meat" "Gulu meat" because it is elastic when eating and makes a rattling sound when chewing. Therefore, these two names have coexisted for a long time. This dish is golden in color, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, sour and sweet, with crispy skin and tender meat. It enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad.
