4750 Never Too Late to Love (157)
About half an hour after the couple was seated, the serving staff started to serve up the dishes bit by bit.

Guangzhou cuisine encompasses dishes from areas including the Pearl River Delta, Shaoguan, Zhanjiang, etc. The dishes are rich in a fine selection of ingredients and skillfully prepared. The taste is clean without being bland, fresh but not overpowering, tender yet not raw. Oil is definitely being used but they are never greasy.

Typically, when it comes to food preparation, they are good at stir-frying. This requires good control of the fire and the oil temperature has to be just right. At the same time, it is also compatible with many Western preparation methods. The focus is on the grandness and quality of the dish.

The Chaozhou cuisine originated from the Chaoshan area. Combining the best of the cuisine of Huimin and Guangdong regions, it became a separate and distinct cuisine. Its strength is in the preparation of seafood, soups, vegetarian dishes and beet. It features exquisite knife skills and the overall taste is light and pure.

Dongjiang cuisine originated from the Dongjiang area of Guangdong. Meat is used in most of the dishes and seafood is rare. The main ingredient is emphasized and the dishes are aromatic and savory with heavy use of oil. Its specialty is claypot dishes with a unique local flavor.

Initially, Bai Sheng thought she might not be used to eating this sort of food.

She was born in the capital city, but liked spicy food.

Given the difference in taste between the northern and southern palate, she found it hard to imagine what sweet tofu pudding might taste like.

It’s said that Cantonese cuisine tends to be sweet.

There were six cold dishes. Among them, there was the most famous sliced chicken and honey-flavored pork.

Bai Sheng ate a piece of barbecued pork and was stunned. She already had an expectation of what barbecued pork tasted like. No matter how delicious it was, it wouldn’t stray far from what she knew.
However, she was surprised that the authentic honey-flavored barbecued pork tasted so delicious! She could not help examining it. What sort of seasonings had gone into the making of this dish? Given similar seasonings, how could some restaurants serve up such a tasty barbecue pork while others only tasted ordinary?

Although she did not eat Cantonese cuisine often, Bai Sheng had tried it at a previous gathering, but it certainly did not taste so authentic and delicious. It was so delicious that it almost brought tears of happiness!

Holding her chopsticks, Bai Sheng was in a daze, immersed in the aftertaste of the barbecued pork.

Gu Chengze recommended a Hong Kong-style shrimp dumpling.

“Try this.”

“Uh huh.” Bai Sheng was completely taken by the delicious food. Noting that Gu Chengze strongly recommended the shrimp dumpling, she immediately raised her chopsticks and picked one up.

She popped a lightly crispy and tender shrimp dumpling into her mouth. Before she could even sink her teeth into the food, the delicate skin gave way under the slightest pressure bearing down on it. The juice of the meat and delicious aroma of prawns filled her mouth.

“Oooh…” Bai Sheng’s eyes lit up again and her body started to twist involuntarily. She shook her head and looked extremely adorable.

Gu Chengze was greatly amused. “This is funny. Why are you bobbing up and down while you eat?”

It was as if she was dancing.

“Delicious!” Bai Sheng could not stop herself from taking another one. Right after she put it into her mouth, she nodded like a little rabbit again.

Gu Chengze had never seen a person who danced while eating.

Bai Sheng’s behavior was what Gu Jinglian would term “ill mannered”.

However, Gu Chengze found the way Bai Sheng would show her emotions to be very adorable.
