1. To be precise, Hong Kong cuisine is basically Cantonese cuisine. 2. The green vegetables in the video should not be called pakchoy, but choy sum, which is originally green. Pakchoy is derived from the pronunciation of "white cabbage" in Cantonese. Because most of the previous immigrants were Cantonese, Cantonese became the most widely used language in Chinatown. Because there are too many kinds of vegetables in China, and the Chinese who opened restaurants are not so good at English, they simply call all green vegetables pakchoy, while pakchoy should be called Chinese cabbage in English, with green leaves and white stems. 3. The pork is called barbecued pork, a classic Cantonese dish. 4. The chicken is called salt-baked chicken, which belongs to the Hakka cuisine in Cantonese cuisine. 5. Guangzhou is a famous food capital in China. I strongly recommend that you find a local to take you to eat.
Thank you for the clarification. I obtained the ingredient names from the menu and shared my perspective on Chinese cuisine as a European chef. Regrettably, I had limited time to explore this remarkable culinary tradition more thoroughly 🙏
I like the ethnic/local food at Guangzhou, especially seafood. Chongqing...I like the street food. The local restaurants' food spice is not for me though.
Not all Chinese restaurants are the same. Generally, you only critique restaurants which fulfill the following 3 criteria: 1. Has to be 3 Michelin star rated. 2. 100% packed with local Chinese all the time. 3. The restaurant would never accept advanced reservation but always has a long queue. With that said, try again and you will be surprised the results are 100% different.
You went to a run of the mill every day fast food joint for the common folks. The joint is not looking for a Michelin star. It doesn't need your kind of critic so lighten up.
In my professional opinion, when preparing food for a client, it is essential to adhere to rigorous culinary standards to ensure the delivery of the highest quality cuisine 😇
@@jevgeninikolas3495 These people just came out of poverty so filling their stomach at a low cost is still the mind set. I could understand why you think that way because you are from the West and a chef. Take a lesson from Anthony Bourdain, understand the culture and appreciate what it is the way it is and go after the restaurants that wants a Michelin status.
@wcdirect9217 We also went to a Michelin restaurant, expensive places, and cheap places with great quality food. You might want to check out those restaurants in an upcoming episode. The reason why I am so critical of the food in the video has two main reasons: 1) honest opinions about the places we visited; 2) a bit of confusion because Asia has such a great food culture, but in some places, you can't experience it. Even so, if I were allowed, I could show techniques on how to improve food quality and keep the food price. 😇
Look at food very good.very clean.thank you.

The sauce on the Chinese broccoli is oyster sauce which is thicker and sweeter made from oysters. They use white pepper for spice in Cantonese cooking

@@wcdirect9217these are not cheap paces
@@deni949 I don't know your price tolerance, regardless it comes off as snobbishness just because you spent some money. Be humble.
