Guangzhou people are famous for their delicious food. Every time friends and relatives from other places ask me what the authentic taste of Guangzhou is, I can't help but think of the bits and pieces related to "eating" in the process of growing up. Fresh, spicy, warm, sweet and sour are intertwined into the Guangzhou flavor in my memory.

When it comes to "eating" in Guangzhou, the first thing is "Cantonese morning tea". From my childhood memory, "drinking morning tea" is both exciting and painful, because those delicious morning tea restaurants always have many people to join us. If you don't want to wait, you have to get up early to "open the table". When I ordered the food and made the tea, I saw the snack cart and the steaming fire stall beside the tea table. The pain of not sleeping late has been completely forgotten. As more and more steamers and plates are placed in the center of the table, those residual drowsiness has long since disappeared satisfactorily.

"Morning tea" has the etiquette of "morning tea", for example, the younger generation should pour tea and water for the elders, and snacks should be given to the elders in advance; When someone pours you tea, you should tap your finger on the table to show your gratitude. There is no water in the teapot, so there is no need to make a hullabaloo about. Just lift the lid of the tea. At that time, we talked about tea table manners and often told a joke. A foreigner came to have morning tea and worried that he didn't know morning tea manners. So, he observed the movements of the neighboring table and learned to do it step by step. The waiter poured tea for the next table and tapped the table with his finger to express his thanks. Foreigners also tapped the table with their fingers, and the lid of the teapot at the adjacent table was lifted to signal the waiter to add water. Foreigners have followed suit. What snacks did the next table take? At the next table, I wonder why this person always does the same thing as himself. When he was walking, he accidentally rolled down the stairs. At first glance, outsiders thought that Guangzhou people still had the habit of rolling down the stairs when drinking tea. In order to avoid rudeness, they had to bite their teeth and roll down the stairs. Every time I "drink morning tea" and pour tea for others or drink tea poured by others, I can't help but think of this joke and my little happiness about "morning tea" when I was a child.

Guangzhou taste zhi snacks

There are countless snacks in Guangzhou, including double-skin milk, red bean paste, salted oil cake, turnip beef offal, Chinese sauerkraut, radish, spicy pork foot ginger, crispy chicken patties, crispy borax, sausages, Wonton Noodles, beef brisket powder that can fill the stomach, pork red soup, time-consuming and addictive jingling sugar and chicken gong. I once took a friend to visit Shangxiajiu and the surrounding alleys for a day, just to eat different snacks. From morning till night, I wandered around the arcade, pointing to the clear windows. I didn't go into restaurants and restaurants, but I ate all kinds of snacks. Everything is different, and I am very satisfied and happy.

In the teaching of elders, it is very impolite to eat while shopping. In Houthi armed forces, it is forbidden to eat improperly and eat all kinds of snacks, so I always think that eating snacks is a happy patent with friends. One or two good friends, holding hands, sometimes crossing the street and crossing the lane, eating some with their mouths and grabbing a handful in their hands constitute an indelible happy memory when I grow up.

The midnight snack in Guangzhou is also colorful. Once people in Guangzhou go out, they are always not used to the timetable of early closing of foreign restaurants, because in the concept of Guangzhou people, only a few food stalls should be brightly lit at midnight 12. These food stalls are either good at porridge, noodles and rice, or good at fresh frying. People who have finished their evening self-study, people who have just left the night shift, people whose work and rest are reversed, and people who specialize in foraging, enter the store, order a bowl of soft and beautiful porridge, serve loose beef and like to drink two cups, and ask the smiling boss to fry a plate of snails or a plate of iron plate pig offal and talk while eating. As long as you want to eat, whenever you go out, there is always a food stall waiting for you at the corner.

Besides the taste, the midnight snack brought me family memories. When I was a child, I finished my homework at night and often spoiled and said that I was hungry. My father or mother will take the tin thermos bottle with a big cork and buy me a snack at the food stall outside to satisfy my appetite, or Wonton Noodles with fragrant soup, or boat porridge with rich materials, the thick fog, and the warmth has been stuck in my heart. Now, I am also the mother of the child. Sometimes after class at night, I will take her to a food stall to eat porridge and fry a plate. Mother and daughter can talk about the interesting things of the day while eating, and the fun is also very harmonious.

These are all Guangzhou flavors owned by people and stars around me.
