Gifts are items given by people to express certain emotions (such as thanks) or to celebrate or commemorate.

With the development of society, the meaning of gift-giving has far exceeded its actual value, and has become a symbolic gift. Therefore, the choice of gifts is also particularly important. So what are the high-end Guangdong specialty gifts? Let’s learn about them together.

1. Cantonese-style preserved meat

Preserved meat is one of the traditional pickled products in Guangdong. In the past, due to inconvenient transportation and lack of supplies, people could not eat fresh vegetables, so they used salt to pickle vegetables to preserve their moisture and color. After pickling, the vegetables become darker in color and produce a special aroma. This kind of salted meat is bacon.

There are a wide variety of Cantonese-style cured dishes, including: sausages, cured duck, cured chicken, salted eggs, salted fish, etc. The most famous one is undoubtedly "double steaming". The so-called "double steaming" refers to steaming pork and dried fish with raw materials such as glutinous rice, mushrooms, and winter bamboo shoots. After the dish is finished, the flavors of the two ingredients penetrate each other, making it soft, waxy and fragrant.

2. Laohuo Jingtang

Laohuo Jingtang is a delicious dish made from a variety of natural ingredients. It has nourishing and health-preserving effects and is delicious and deeply loved by people.

The main Laohuo soups in Guangzhou include: pig offal stew, beef offal stew, pork ribs stew, stew, herbal tea, turtle paste, ginger milk, etc. The most distinctive one is "Tingzi porridge". The so-called "Tingzi porridge" is a delicacy made on the boat. The main ingredients include rice noodles, fried dough sticks, peanuts, chopped green onions, minced coriander, and seasonings such as light soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. When eating, you usually put a bowl of rice noodles into a bowl, add an appropriate amount of chopped fried dough sticks, peanuts, green onions and minced coriander, and then drizzle with a little light soy sauce.

3. Morning Tea

The custom of drinking morning tea originated during the Qing Dynasty. At that time, most residents in Guangzhou were engaged in hard labor and got up late every day. In order to earn more money to support their family, they came up with a way: go to a restaurant to have tea and breakfast in the morning. Over time, "drinking tea" and "eating snacks" have become a living habit of Guangzhou citizens. Up to now, the custom of drinking morning tea is still popular in Guangzhou.

At present, the more famous morning tea shops in Guangzhou include Taotaoju, Lianxianglou, Diandude, Yinji Rice Roll Rice Roll, Nanxin Milk Dessert Expert, Shunfeng Mountain Spring, etc. These restaurants not only offer a variety of delicious Cantonese dim sum, but also serve a variety of drinks, such as chrysanthemum Pu'er tea, lemon honey water, sour plum soup, and more. In addition, there are many restaurants that provide Western-style pastries and breads, coffee and milk tea, sandwich cakes, etc.
