Nanfanshun has been rich since ancient times, and Shunde is outstanding. With the developed silk weaving industry and money houses, Qing Dynasty became an economic center in Guangdong. In their spare time, people pursue a higher level of enjoyment, among which Cantonese opera and delicious food are the representatives. Ma Shiceng, Sun Ma Sze Tsang, Xue Juexian, Bai Jurong, Qianli Ju, Luo Jiabao, etc., the top leaders of Cantonese opera are all from Shunde. In terms of food, there is even a saying that "food is in Guangzhou and the kitchen is out of Fengcheng" (Fengcheng is Shunde). Since the late Qing Dynasty, most famous restaurants in Guangzhou were cooked by Shunde people. Therefore, the basis of Guangfu cuisine in Cantonese cuisine is Shunde cuisine. At present, Guangzhou, as a first-tier metropolis, with the great integration of population and culture, the characteristics of traditional Cantonese cuisine are becoming more and more blurred, while Shunde cuisine, as the root of Cantonese cuisine, not only maintains the tradition, but also continues to develop, eventually surpassing Guangzhou to become one of the six gourmet capitals in the world.

Shunde cuisine is famous for its rich ingredients, strict selection of ingredients, fine workmanship, combination of Chinese and western, delicious quality and health care. Shunde cuisine especially pursues the freshness of ingredients, pays attention to the original flavor of ingredients, has less oil and thin salt, and has a light taste. It can be said that Shunde cuisine is the healthiest school among the major cuisines in China, which conforms to the trend of modern health preservation. Shunde people are especially good at cooking fish, and there are hundreds of dishes, especially steamed fish. The fish should be killed and steamed now, and the heat is just right.

There are 10 towns in Shunde, and each town has different cuisines. Traditional cuisines include: Daliangshuangpi milk, Daliangmiao milk, Chencun powder, Lunjiao cake, Jun 'an steamed pig, Jun 'an fish cake, Lecong fish rot, fish skin horn and so on. The most famous restaurant is shun feng Villa, which has 20 branches in Beijing, Shanghai and other cities. It is a luxury brand of catering and a representative of Shunde cuisine.

Shunde raw fish. A delicious food with Shunde characteristics, that is, fresh water fish sashimi, but not everyone dares to eat it, and those who like it will like it very much. A friend of mine in Suzhou likes it very much. Most raw fish are mandarin fish (grass carp) and perch. The key to making it is to bleed thoroughly so that the fish will be white and transparent. Many restaurants have raw fish, among which Nanji and Yishi are well-known.
