These dishes are all Cantonese, it's not the same for all China. Outside of the Guandong province, the rest of China eats mainly dumplings for New Year.

[@Weeping-Angel]

Yeah. Cantonese cuisine is probably the only cuisine most Americans know. Not everybody in Chinese eats these foods

[@RKO859]

Cantonese cuisine are 100x more superior and complex.

[@lunaaksoy]

Ill have steak

[@user-cyberqueenie]

How is steak any different? They're all animals

[@Rain755]

@@user-cyberqueenie Why do we have to wear red on Chinese New Year? 😭😭😭. Man it really does suck being Asian. Because most Asians parents want their kids to wear red on Chinese New Year. Why not let them wear black or green? No colors are bad in fact but most Asians think black is a bad color.

[@awosgamessoap8742]

Can we get the disease just by watching this video?
