Chinese food is one of the world’s most diverse and ancient cuisines, with a history spanning thousands of years. It emphasizes balance in flavor, color, texture, and nutrition, often guided by the principles of traditional Chinese medicine. Common ingredients include rice, noodles, soy products, vegetables, and a variety of meats and seafood.
Regional cuisines differ greatly—for example:
Cantonese cuisine is known for dim sum and lightly seasoned, fresh dishes.
Sichuan cuisine is famous for its bold, spicy flavors and liberal use of garlic and chili peppers.
Shandong cuisine highlights seafood and savory broths.
Jiangsu cuisine often features sweet flavors and refined cooking techniques.
On Friday we visited the Zen Asia restaurant. Excellent restaurant with delicious food.
