Guang Zhou/Food

Best Food in Guang Zhou

• Yum Cha (Dim Sum Tea Tradition)

  A leisurely tradition of drinking tea alongside small steamed and fried dishes like har gow, char siu bao, and rice noodle rolls, ordered continuously from carts or menus. Guangzhou is where the modern yum cha tradition is generally credited as having developed.

• Cantonese Roast Meats (Siu Mei)

  Roast goose, char siu (barbecued pork), and soy sauce chicken hung in shop windows and carved to order, usually served over rice. A defining category of Cantonese cooking distinct from the spicier styles found in other Chinese regions.
