Eating is everyone's favorite activity in Guangzhou, and Cantonese cuisine is the main cuisine in this region. There are literally hundreds of good restaurants serving a wide range of authentic Cantonese dishes which are one of the most beloved in China. The adapted version of Cantonese cuisine is the most prevalent form of Chinese food known in the West especially in the USA, since a large number of Cantonese men emigrated to work on the American railways and brought some of the recipes with them.
Cantonese cuisine puts a strong emphasis on preserving the natural flavor of the food. Hence many dishes are stir-fried or steamed in order to preserve the freshness of the ingredients which Guangzhou is fortunate to have in copious amount; be it fresh seafood, fruits or vegetables.
What type of dishes epitomize Cantonese cuisine? Beef with Oyster Sauce is a typical Chinese dish, as are Fried Rice and Steamed Chicken. Fish is eaten frequently, and shellfish are also popular. Steamed sea bass, stir-fried garoupa, and Lobster Cantonese are all well-known Cantonese dishes. Shark's fin soup is another favorite delicacy. Vegetable dishes reflect the wide variety and seasonality of what is available. Dim Sum is also the featured dish of Cantonese cuisine, and is the most popular food in Guangzhou as the local people like to drink tea while having Dim Sum over business or leisure talk. Sweet and Sour Pork is unmistakably an authentic Cantonese dish, although it may taste totally different in the westernized version.
