Dear Steemit friends:

Today, i'm visiting one of ShenZhen's most authentic restaurants for some morning tea ! Since I grew up in GuangDong, I'm well accustomed to the culinary styles of that province, whenever I taste food from GuangDong, a part of me is brought back to my childhood.

GuangDong style food is one of the four main styles of food in China, not only is their cooking meticulous, it is also a fusion of western and eastern styles. They are noted for being able to cook food which bring out the most natural and fresh taste as well as having nutritional and health value.

There is a saying in Chinese that is "Food is in Guangdong" and they're right, the province is very well known for their delicacies and many different styles of cooking the same foods.

Guangdong's morning tea is something you can never become bored of, even if you eat it every single day! I've actually visited this restaurant twice already, but it was only the second time that I actually got to eat there. The first time, the whole restaurant was booked out privately for a Wedding. I took a picture of this car which was beautifully decorated for the newly wed's, below the head lights, you can see some words of blessings for the newly wed's, they're meant to wish them a happy life together.

The second visit to this restaurant, I was finally able to go in and eat. The restaurant itself is situated inside a large tower building.

As you can see, the interior design and decor of the restaurant is very beautiful.

The menu looks like a magazine cover, especially that big fish on the cover. It looks quite formidable if you ask me.. GuangDong is actually known as the Seafood Empire, so they really do know how to eat all sorts of seafood.

So, lets have a taste of their morning tea.
There are the snack dishes, and dimsum:

Cheung Fun platter with a variety of different stuffing's such as Prawn, Sweetcorn and beef. All very tasty!

Steamed Chicken Feet in Fermented bean sauce, something I've eaten perhaps 100 times and yet, it tastes as delicious as the first time I tried it.

Har Gow or Prawn Dumplings need no introduction, i'm sure everybody has tried this before in China Town!

Steamed flat rice noodles with minced meat and preserved vegetables are also one of my favourite dishes, it's the most famous dish from Shunde, GuangDong and has around 90 years of history. The noodles are known for being thin, invigorating, slippery and soft. This is one dish you will not find in other cities.

Stir Fried Seasonal Vegetables

Custard buns, they have a milky and buttery smell.

Steamed Scallops with Vermicelli

Bamboo Meatballs, these are made with mince beef and fresh bamboo mashed together into a meatball. Finally it's served with a slightly sour sauce making it very delicious indeed!

Fresh Grouper, this is the big fish picture on the menu. We didn't have many people so we ordered a smaller fish instead.

The soup of choice is the winter melon pork rib soup.

Pork Loins cooked with Ginger and Wine

Longon Jelly, extremely tasty.

Tripe / Belly in XO Sauce

When it comes to GuangDong cuisine, there are almost endless dishes to try, so we'll have plenty more to explore in the future. I'd like to know, when you visit a restaurant, do you prefer having one main dish, or, do you prefer to have a large variety of small dishes?

今天我想带大家去深圳一家老式粤派酒楼吃一吃广东的早茶，因为我从小在广东长大，所以口味上特别适用粤菜的食物。粤菜是中国传统四大菜系之一，他们的做工精细、中西结合、善于还原食物本身的鲜味、有养生保健的功效，在中国有一句流传很久的话，叫做食在广东，这里真的有太多好吃的东西，他们对同一种食物经常会有几十种不同的做法。广东的早茶真是百吃不厌，这一家早茶味道很不错，去了2次才吃上，第一次去的时候正好赶上一场婚礼，酒楼被包场了，只好去别家吃了。的婚礼车被布置得好漂亮，两边的车灯上贴上了对婚礼新人的祝福，大概意思是祝愿新人相爱永远。第二天又去了，终于吃到了。这家餐厅在一个大厦里。餐厅里布置得很漂亮。看看菜单，做的好像杂志封面。尤其是菜单上那条鱼，好霸气威武的感觉。不过广东确实是海鲜的帝国。现在我们就来一起尝尝他们的早茶吧。小吃类和点心类：肠粉拼盘，有各种馅的口味，虾，玉米，牛肉。非常好吃。我最喜欢吃它外面的肠粉，Q弹鲜美。豉汁蒸风抓，吃过100遍的菜，还是觉得很好吃。虾饺不用太多介绍，大家在中国城一定有吃过。陈村粉也是我的最爱，它是广东顺德的一道名菜，已经有近90年的历史，薄、爽、滑、软是它的特点。陈村粉在其他城市都很少见。炒时蔬。奶黄包，浓浓的奶香味，还有牛油的香味。蒸扇贝，里面有粉丝，味道好鲜美。鲜竹牛肉球，是用牛肉泥和鲜竹混合包裹成的丸子。浇上酱汁，酸酸的很好吃。生猛大海斑，这就是菜单上那条大鱼了，因为人不多，所以选了比较小的鱼例汤是冬瓜炖排骨。姜酒煮猪腰。桂圆糕，非常好吃。XO酱金钱肚。说起广东的美食真的太多了，下次再继续介绍吧，谢谢你们的阅读，希望你们喜欢我的文章。如果你们走进一个餐厅，是比较喜欢吃一份量大的主食，还是点很多量小的小吃呢？
