Guangzhou’s specialty food can be roughly divided into several types: snacks, seafood, Cantonese cuisine, and refreshments.

Snacks are sold by mobile vendors (Guangdong street vendors). Fish balls are balls made of flour + fish meat, cooked in curry sauce. You can try the curry fish balls from 7-11 convenience stores that can be found everywhere on the street, priced at 2.5 yuan/skewer/four. Seafood is a major attraction for northerners coming to Guangdong. It's much cheaper than in the north anyway. Cantonese cuisine refers to the elegant Cantonese dinner cuisine. Most local restaurants will have some outstanding specialty dishes. Be sure to try Guangdong's Laohuo soup, drink it before meals. If you don't know what the ingredients are, just ask what the soup is today and ask for that one. Try it. It is very nutritious. Cantonese cuisine is mainly light. You can order steamed fish, which reflects the Cantonese people's cooking skills. Refreshments are popular in Guangdong. Morning tea, afternoon tea, and night tea are all interspersed between the meal markets. There are barbecued pork buns, chicken feet, pork ribs, radish tripe, pork trotters and ginger, porridge noodles, etc. Guangzhou's pearl rice rolls and braised rice rolls are unique. Stir-fried beef pho is another flavor. Tingzi porridge and Jidi porridge are rich in ingredients, but I still prefer the Teochew-style side dishes that come with the white porridge.
