China Food Journey

  The story of china is the story of food. A number of different styles contribute to Chinese cuisine but perhaps the best known and most influential are Cantonese cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Jiangsu cuisin and Sxechuan cuisine. These styles are distinctive from one another due to factors such as availability of resources, climate ,geopraphy, history, cooking techniques and lifestyle. One style may favour the use of lots of garlic and shallotsover lots of chilli and spices, while another may favourspreparing seafood over other meats and fowl.
Jiangsu cuisine favours cooking techniques such as braising and  stewing, while Sichuan cuisine employs baking, just to name a few.Hairy crab is a highly sought after local delicacy in Shanghai, as it can be found in lakes within the region. Peking dark and dim-sum are other popular dishes well known outside of China.
  Based on the raw materials and ingredients used, the method of preparation and cultural differences, a variety of foods with different flavors and textures are prepared in different regions of the country. Many traditional regional cuisines rely on basic methods of preservation such as drying, saliting, picking and fermentation.
