Cantonese cuisine

"Anything that walks, swims, crawls, or flies with its back to heaven is edible."
(Cantonese saying. Source: The Chinese Kitchen by Eileen Yin-Fei Lo)

can't agree more. We cantonese people do cook and eat almost everything with the respect on the material itself, keep it as fresh as possible, less ingredients as possible. We are especially innovative in the way we cook and try with new methods and recipes, for example, the evolution of Dim Sum.

Proud to be a cantonese, can't be better! My way of cooking is similar, being innovative to an extreme level (with whatsoever i have in the fridge)...

Proud to a Cantonese too… but I think I’m yet to learn how to cook like a Cantonese. :)

Yes I agree, Cantonese cuisine is definitely one of the best cooking styles in the world. Good thing I was raised in a traditional Chinese home able to enjoy the pleasures of Cantonese food!
