Along the way, you’ll discover: • Why Cantonese cuisine focuses so much on freshness • How traditional Chinese medicine influenced local eating habits • The connection between Guangzhou’s humid climate and its famous soups & desserts • The history behind iconic dishes like congee, rice rolls, and sweet soups
Come hungry, not only for food, but also for stories.
