With a history of over 2200 years，Guangzhou has made good use of its time to develop a rich food
culture and become the home of Cantonese cuisine. Legend has it that five angels riding five fairy rams
blessed the land on which Guangzhou was built upon with eternally abundant crops by scattering ears of grain on the
ground. Accordingly, Guangzhou is nicknamed 穗城 (City of Rice) or 五羊城 (Five Ram City). Given its
nickname, it is no wonder that the city boasts some of the best culinary delights in China.
Cantonese cuisine is particular about creating the sensation of umami or savoriness. This
involves
using the
freshest ingredients and using spices sparingly to not overwhelm the natural taste of the
ingredients
themselves. Experience the product of centuries of culinary innovation and uncover a whole new
world
of flavors
