Cantonese Cuisine

---

Cantonese cuisine features the cooking style in southern China – Hongkong, Guangdong, as well as Fujian and Taiwan. The popularity of southern Cantonese cuisine comes from the subtle use of sauces, the diversity of ingredients and cooking methods. The use of seafood, a wide variety of meats, fresh fruit, and vegetables combine with the methods of stir-frying, steaming, and roasting have made Cantonese dishes one of the most popular Chinese cuisine. We also have the Cantonese to thank for dim sum (“dian xin”), literally meaning "touch your heart" – consists of very small portions of varied assortment of pastries and dumplings that originated in Chinese teahouses. It is usually served with tea from late morning until early afternoon. Chinese use dim sum brunches as an opportunity for families to share the time together or to catch up with friends while enjoying the tea and many different types of delicacies.
