Chinese Girl Can't Stop Feeding Me Cantonese Food

Cantonese Food In Guangzhou, China
I explored the futuristic side of Guangzhou ➡️ • I Took China's Futuris...
I am in Guangzhou, China. The food from this region of China is world famous: Cantonese Food. A lot of the Chinese food that you can eat abroad is often Cantonese food. I have tried it before outside of China, many times, and I really liked it! But how good is authentic Cantonese food in Guangzhou? Today I am joined by my local friend Alisa and she will show us around her hometown to find out how good Guangzhou food and Cantonese food really is. Join us!

I adore how Chinese cuisine does eggplant with sooooo much good garlic. Also Wuhan’s hot dry noodles with sesame paste, Beijing noodles with soybean paste (originally vegetarian but now served with pork), and in the 🍂 autumn and winter, the steamed sweet potatoes 🍠 that you can buy for 15 rmb on the street! Also jianbing (Chinese pancake) that you can get on the street! A

Ken, you'll need to go to a Cantonese BBQ shop for char siu, roast pork, roast duck and goose...... Also you'll need to try a steamed fresh fish in ginger/shallot sauce plus a big bowl of rice....

What a wonderful and delicious food adventure with Alisa. A big shout-out to her. A nice walk about showing the old side with all those traditional buildings. I'm sure Alisa introduces those "tong sui" stuff to you, like the milk pudding, red beans soup and etc. As l'm a Cantonese, l used to cook red beans soup for my family. Yeah, that lady vendor speaks to you in Mandarin, asking you whether you understand her but there's no response from you 😂😅 And for that long bean curd skin, you must take/buy the whole piece, a vegetarian food. Oh, a good try with that fish skin dish. Thank you very much for another fabulous video with interesting content, Ken....fun and entertaining to watch. Love it so much. Bravo, Ken.

[@KenAbroad]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it 😊

[@enzolai6205]

Welcome to Canton! If you're interested in trying dim sum, I highly recommend visiting Nan Yuan Restaurant (142 Qianjin Road, Haizhu District）or Panxi Restaurant（151 Longjin West Road, Liwan District）. Both places not only offer authentic dim sum but also provide a pleasant dining environment. Especially the their gardens reflects the typical Lingnan style, making it a worthwhile visit.

[@internationaldailytv6179]

13:51 You said ketchup doesn't sound very Chinese to you but it is quite commonly used with Chinese cuisine, especially in Cantonese cuisine and all over South East Asia. The word "ketchup", if you are not aware of, is actually derived from the Cantonese.

[@changshu6463]

Exactly. ket=茄=tomato, chup=汁=sauce. And also the popular garlic chilli sauce in sourth east asia is also from China, fujian province(Hokkien)

[@yanyan_taiwanchina]

@@changshu6463 你的推理似乎比較合理。因為英文詞裡面還有 dimsum 早茶 也是源自中文粵語裡的”點心”發音。

[@Rob_430]

Im American and I make some Chinese dishes, might be Chinese American, but the sauces have ketchup added to some of the sauces.

[@hongwahliu5056]

Oh wow... I never realised that ketchup is a Cantonese word, but now I think about it (and see the explanantion from @changshu6463), it is absolutely true! How weird and funny!

There's nothing more Chinese than catchup. Tomato sauce was originated.from China and more specifically, from Canton (Guangdong) Province, the.place you are visiting in this video. Catchup is a Cantonese word, 茄汁, this sauce as introduced to the west through sea trading in the old ages.

8:00 strawberries were bred as polyploid,just normal breeding technique,Japanese developped those techniques many years ago and they were introduced in China like 20 yrs ago.Now Chinese breeding technique is also top of the world and we also created many delicious strawberry types by cross hybridizing

[@Hoo88846]

Japan got its culture from Chinese Tang Dynasty and its writing system from China and its technology from west. Stop trying to advertise the Japanese copycat nation. Most things misbranded as “Japanese “ aren’t even Japanese in origin. They just love to slap their replica brand around. Noodles, dumplings, rice, rice wine, rice noodles, bean curd, miso, hotpot, chopsticks, ramen, soy sauce, bonsai, origami, game of go, tea, tea ceremony, cherry blossom, katana, etc, all came from China and are Chinese inventions. Hiragana is cursive Chinese characters Hanzi, katakana is partial Chinese characters, kanji is Hanzi named after the Han Dynasty of China.

[@yxp8835]

@@Hoo88846 I am not doing anything advertising,but just telling the storyline that how we Chinese learn those breeding techniques.Modern breeding techniques are often introduced from Japan or US is not a shame,and we are proud of improving those techniques and developping our own brands.Anyway i just sticked to strawberries and breeding,why are you so pissed off and saying so many as if i am advertising for Japan 😂

[@Hoo88846]

@@yxp8835 They can be introduced from Japan but they don’t originate from Japan. It’s like Japan copies from the west and then they become the teacher. It’s like Shakespeare is British but is taught in USA and taught to the Chinese by American teachers from USA, but Shakespeare has nothing to do with USA. That’s my point.

[@yxp8835]

@@Hoo88846 I ain't saying a word about 'originated from Japan' OK? Japanese developed breeding techs on strawberries and we introduced 丽红 in 1983 and a more famous 红颜 in 2007,these are just plain facts. 丹东 bred strawberries on a larger scale since 2009.I'm glad we are catching up,and my 丹东 local friend gives credits to Japanese breeding tech on strawberries.If using your metaphor, Japanese are really Shakespeare from UK at strawberry breeding tech😂

[@truth8307]

​@@Hoo88846 China is indeed GREAT. Without their 4 great inventions, America won't be discovered, the Bible won't exist and Americans can't be as powerful as they are today, at least they can't attack others. But yet today US is not grateful to China but accused China of stealing their technologies 😅😅

[@chaw294]

It's indeed wonderful to have a local to guide you for yummilious Cantonese food. Yeah, the morning meal is known as "Zhou Zha", quite similar to "dim sum". Haha, those bitter herbal drinks are healthy drinks, can help to cool the body. My late mother used to brew this bitter tea when l was sick. Oh gosh, l hated it. Yeah, a piece of candy/sweet/dried plum can help to ease the bitterness in the mouth/ throat.

[@KenAbroad]

Yeah the teas tasted like they are good to drink when you're sick 😁

Cantonese American here born in Guangzhou and raised in USA. Translation for the doufu skin that you ate. They call it vegetarian roasted goose. Vegetarian meat is usually made with the Chinese invention of doufu ( invented during the Han Dynasty of China) which the Japanese copied and call it tofu. The double skinned milk and ginger milk both originated from Shunde, Guangdong province (Guangzhou is its capital city), which also is the ancestral hometown of Bruce Lee, and also my paternal ancestral home. Shunde is where they train Cantonese chefs. Hong Kong and Macau both inherit Cantonese cuisine and culture from Guangdong province, so if you want the authentic version of double skin milk and ginger milk, visit the hometown of Bruce Lee, Shunde. Greetings from Los Angeles. 🎉

A friendly tip: In the coming week, there will be heavy snowfall in most parts of mainland China. At the same time, due to the approach of the Chinese Spring Festival, bad weather may affect your travel plans (such as the cancellation of flights, trains and high-speed trains, the closure of highways, etc.). Please check the weather forecast of the Chinese meteorological department in advance before traveling and make a plan for the itinerary. Best wish to you!

Ketchup is actually Chinese. The word Ketchup is an English translation of Cantonese "茄汁", which is pronounced as "Ket Zup", meaning Tomatoe Sauce.

14:31 The last meal you got, the yellow roll is a kind of tofu (豆腐皮 tofu skin, if I heard the vender right), it is from soy milk, basically like when hot milk cooling down and there is a film formed on top of it. The film was collected and dried, which gives it a yellow colour. I don’t know how it is cooked in Canton, in my hometown it’s steamed and has a flavour of sweet and salt. By the way, there is a saying that ‘the highest praise of a dessert is that it’s not sweet’. Happy to see you enjoying them!
