It is precisely because of the hot and humid climate in Guangdong that the eating habits of local people in Guangdong are mainly light, and many foreigners are not used to this kind of diet when they first come to Guangdong: when Guangdong people steam fish, they often wash the fish, put two pieces of ginger on it, steam it directly in a pot, and pour some scallion oil and soy sauce on it before serving; When roasting chicken, the chicken is also cleaned, cooked directly in a pot of clear water, picked up and cut into pieces, dipped in scallion oil and soy sauce. When you rinse hot pot, the bottom of the soup is a pot of water. When you rinse the ingredients in the pot, add some soy sauce and chopped green onion and you can eat.
Therefore, many elderly people often leave a bad impression when they try Cantonese food for the first time. In my memory, I once had dinner with my friends. My friend Hunan's grandfather came to Guangdong and wanted to take the old man to taste the beef hot pot in Guangdong. This meal is embarrassing. After the old man watched the bottom of the hot pot soup boil, we put the meat slices in it for only ten seconds and then picked them up and put them in the old man's bowl. The old man didn't move chopsticks for a long time, and later he couldn't hold back.
However, if you live in Guangdong for a long time and still eat something with heavy taste every day, your body will send out early warning signals: excessive internal heat, sore throat, lung heat, acne, sores on your mouth and tongue ... So before foreigners come to Guangdong, you must find ways to overcome this problem of dietary cultural differences.
Although Cantonese food is light, as long as you are willing to try it, you will find that the same food will be presented in another way, which will make people get unexpected surprises!
