Essay on Food in Guangzhou for Grade 5, 400 words

My hometown, Guangzhou, is a beautiful food city. The food culture here is famous throughout the country. As the saying goes, "Eat in Guangzhou", that's it. Let me introduce it to you below.

First of all, let’s take a look at Guangzhou cuisine! Guangzhou cuisine is based on the excellent folk cuisine of Guangdong Province, constantly absorbing the essence of my country’s major cuisines, drawing on the strengths of Western recipes, and constantly learning from each other’s strengths to offset weaknesses. Guangzhou cuisine uses a wide range of ingredients, carefully selects ingredients, has excellent skills, is good at changing, and has various varieties. There were 5,447 dishes introduced at the "Guangzhou Famous Dish and Western Pastry Expo" in 1956, including 815 types of dim sum and hundreds of snacks. The taste of Guangzhou cuisine is mainly clear, fresh, tender and crisp. It emphasizes light but not bland, fresh but not vulgar, tender but not raw, oily but not greasy. My favorite is the delicious plain-cut chicken. Just thinking about it makes me drool.

"Drinking tea in Guangdong will never be forgotten." Guangzhou people especially like drinking tea, including me. The concept of drinking tea is not only drinking tea, but also eating delicious snacks. One time, my father proposed to go out for tea, but I didn’t agree because I didn’t like the bitter taste of tea at that time. However, my good friend who was playing with me kept shouting "Okay!" and left. Only then did I realize that drinking tea was actually eating snacks. From then on, I fell in love with drinking tea. Moreover, when people in Guangzhou meet each other in the morning, they will ask each other: "Have you had some tea?" (Have you had tea?), while most greetings in other places are "Have you eaten?" As soon as you hear these words, you will It is certain that this person must be from Cantonese. Every time I go to a strange place, I feel very familiar when I hear the Cantonese dialect.

There are more than 500 varieties of fruits in Guangzhou, among which lychees, bananas, papayas, and pineapples are the most widely distributed, produced the most, and have the best quality. They are named the four famous fruits of Lingnan, and they are all my favorites. In addition, there are mango, pomegranate, longan, jackfruit, watermelon, etc., which I love very much. However, Guangzhou is located in the subtropical zone and has a wide variety of fruits, so it is known as the "Hometown of Fruits". Moreover, we can eat fruits all year round, so we can immerse ourselves in the aroma of the fruits all year round.

Guangzhou is also a flower city filled with the fragrance of flowers. Because Guangzhou is located in a subtropical area, Guangzhou is a sea of ??flowers all year round. Guangzhou citizens have a fixed activity "Walking on Flower Street" (i.e. "going to the flower market") every Spring Festival. Among so many flowers, my favorite is Guangzhou’s unique kapok, which is also known as the “hero flower” by Guangzhou people and is also the city flower of Guangzhou. Whenever the flowers are in full bloom, the flowers holding their heads high and chest high are like heroes holding their heads high.

Guangzhou is not only a food city full of the aroma of vegetables and fruits, but also a flower city full of flowers. As long as you walk there, you will definitely be able to discover all kinds of beauty and delicious food hidden in this beautiful city.
