When the weather turns bad in Sanya, what does one do? Book a flight to Guangzhou of course! I was so excited to finally introduce Derk to one of my favourite places to eat in China, and it did not disappoint...

True, a Cantonese meal can't truly begin without a soup. Me as a Toisanese in Malaysia, we always have a bowl of soup on the table. It's common for us to have 3 dishes and 1 soup. Of course it doesn't really have to be 3 dishes.

[@roberttan6418]

Hi Amy, have been following your blog. This Cantonese food is interesting, BTW I'm a Malaysia born Chinese. We have a high population of Chinese in Malaysia and many if all are locally born second, third, fourth or more. We are proud of our Chinese heritage. We Chinese born in Malaysia are full blooded Chinese. The Char Siew you are eating we also have and also the Cantonese style and another one which we called Glass Char Siew and basically made from the fat and is so succulent and melts into the mouth. You friend Peter is so typical Cantonese like my many Cantonese friends here. His actions is so similar to our Malaysian born Cantonese. In our capital Kuala Lumpur Chinese people communicate in Cantonese and we also speak English and many Chinese dialects here and many would understand. We are multi dialects and languages here in Malaysia.

All these sweet desserts bring back fond memories of my childhood. We used to eat them at about 9 o'clock at night, not after dinner. Grandma used to make them from scratch by grinding the sesame seeds in a large mortar. It was quite a bit of work. Of course, nowadays people just go to a dessert place. There is another version similar to the one made with almond. It is made with walnuts, very aromatic. BTW, I think the lamb dish is actually goat, not like the fleshy Australian lamb, not much meat, mostly bones and skin. Thank you for showing us the good food.
