Features: As the saying goes, "Food is the first necessity of the people." Over thousands of years of evolution, Chinese culinary techniques have stood out worldwide, shining with brilliance. Cantonese cuisine holds a pivotal position in the Chinese culinary system and has gradually developed a style characterized by a wide and exotic selection of ingredients. After undergoing the vicissitudes of history, modern Cantonese cuisine has accelerated its development, "uniting the north, south, east, and west in one pot," ultimately forming its unique style. The reform and opening-up further promoted the exchange of culinary techniques between Guangzhou and the Hong Kong and Macau regions. With China's economic boom, the strong market demand has provided fertile ground for the rapid development of Cantonese cuisine, which has evolved from a regional cuisine in China to one that has spread across the country and even to the world. As people's living standards continue to improve, dietary needs have gradually shifted from basic sustenance to artistry and enjoyment. This not only demands higher standards for the quantity and quality of dishes but also for their color, aroma, taste, appearance, presentation, and nutritional value. A pearl shining on the east bank of the Huang Yong River—the Jiangtian Hotel—boasts a highly skilled and expert culinary team that is now thriving. While inheriting and promoting traditional Cantonese cuisine, they continuously innovate, having created numerous trendy Cantonese dishes in just a few years, which have been deeply loved by guests. Here, we have selected some of these dishes and compiled and published this book, "Trendy Cantonese Cuisine," as a reference for exchange and learning among peers. May the dishes from Jiangtian Hotel bring you joy in beauty and an artistic experience.
