This is the first episode of City Bites, where we dive into the food that’s unique to a Chinese city, and its roots.
China has one of the most diverse palates ever, thanks to the country’s many different regions and ethnicities. If you want to learn about Cantonese food, Shunde’s a good place to start. This Pearl River Delta city is one of the oldest rice-growing areas in history, which resulted in plenty of traditional dishes made with the grain.
In this episode, we travelled to see how this region uses rice creatively to make cakes and noodles.
