Guangzhou's cuisine is unique among all types of Chinese cuisines in its ingredients, cooking methods and flavorings.
It is well known that the people of Guangzhou love to eat and know how to satisfy their appetite. Bizarre it may sound, Guangzhou can put anything that walks, crawls, flies or swings on the dining table. Guangzhou's cuisine has over 1,000 different ingredients. Many of the stranger dishes are no longer palatable for today's refined tastes and have therefore been eliminated due to the eating habits of people from other areas, but some strange traditional dishes remain.
Guangzhou's local cuisine puts its emphasis on seafood with unique and mixed flavors. One flavoring liquid is a mixture prepared from onions, garlic, sugar, salt and spices.
