Authentic Cantonese cuisine is distinctly different from those of other Chinese regions and very different from Westernised Chinese food!. As David H mentioned, it is a lighter cuisine, with emphasis on extremely fresh ingredients providing most of the flavor and preference of healthier cooking methods like steaming, boiling & braising!. For freshness, imagine steamed fish that was swimming in a tank just minutes ago!. And the Cantonese insist on using freshly slaughtered chicken, never chilled or frozen meat!. They can also do amazing things with seafood, and you have to see the size of their braised abalones!.

Dim sum is probably the best known Cantonese cuisine, and the best is found in Hong Kong!. A lesser promoted facet of Cantonese cuisine are the 'weird' foods, Fear Factor style or worse!. Guangdong (aka Canton in the old days) is the center of China for eating all sorts of peculiar stuff and wild game like poisonous snakes!. More widely accepted hallmarks of this cuisine are the soups, uniquely ultra-smooth Cantonese rice porridge and sweet dessert soups!. Go to Hong Kong if you've yet to visit and bring a starving stomach!Www@FoodAQ@Com

After the spelling lesson is over, Cantonese is a very open cuisine, but doe involve more seafood as Canton is a seaport, more pork and chicken, will use rice and noodles in the food, basically it is a varied type of cuisine, were the northern ones like Hunan and Mandarin, are more spicy use more noodles and white flour, beef as oppose to seafood, thicker sauce, Cantonese is a lighter brothy type of food!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
