Pleasures of the Table in 10 Cities
Northern Shaanxi and southern Shaanxi food can also be found in Xi'an.
Northern Shaanxi food such as spiced donkey meat and yangrouhuimian (noodles
cooked with mutton soup and vegetables) came to Xi'an, courtesy of performers of
xintianyou (one of the major folk tunes popular in northern Shaanxi). The most
famous food of southern Shaanxi is liangpi, which has many female admirers. In
this dish, rice is ground with water, and then steamed. It is then served in
slices mixed with garlic extract and chili oil.
กกGuangzhou: No banquet without chicken
Guangzhou is a tolerant and equal city, where philistines and elites can live
harmoniously together. The same goes for its food.
In Guangzhou, chicken plays an indispensable role in banquets. People in
Guangzhou usually go to the countryside to eat chicken. Along the way up to the
hills, you can find many chicken farms where fishponds are surrounded by
cottages. This is because Guangdong people like chickens that are raised in a
natural environment.
