It's not easy to find this resturant because google maps takes you a bit away but the timme spent on finding it was worth it. Could never imagine that one would find a dedicated vegetarian restaurant in Beijing! There is a substantial overlay of Thai, Indonesian and Vietnamese influence on the cooking with spices and mixing of cooking proportions, including the use of coconut oil! Groceries are fresh, the tofu is stunning and the sauce used with the vegetables and the tofu were so delicate it would satisfy the most discerning diners .. 

Cantonese or Yue cuisine originates from Guangdong Province (SE China around Hong Kong), and it is the most widely served style of Chinese cuisine in the world. This is because most of the Chinese who immigrated and set up restaurants overseas were from Guangdong. Though what's served abroad now has departed from authentic Yue cuisine.

What distinguishes Cantonese food is lightly cooked fresh vegetables and meat, and sweet sauces.

A wide variety of foodstuffs are used to make Cantonese dishes. Therefore, it surprises foreigners sometimes. The saying "They eat everything with four legs except tables and everything that flies except airplanes" is an exaggeration. But dishes might contain snakes, cats, dogs and sea life not familiar to most foreigners. Keep that in mind when you are ordering something off the menu with strange Cantonese names.

An authentic Cantonese chef's goal is to preserve the food's original flavor. Unlike other Chinese styles of cooking such as Sichuan style where the cook buries the food in a lot of spices and oil, a Cantonese chef aims to bring out or highlight the original flavor of the vegetable, meat, or fruit. So little spice or sugar is used generally.

The result: The result of this cooking technique is to produce food that might seem bland or insipid to foreigners who are used to the overseas style of Chinese food where a lot more sugar and spice is used. It takes some time to appreciate the mild and distinct flavors of the meat, vegetables and fruit.

If you want to try authentic Cantonese Cuisine, our tours can take you to authentic local restaurants. Our Guangzhou tours combine must-see attractions in Guangzhou with meals in carefully selected restaurants.
