Along with suggested dishes and restaurant recommendations, it will certainly get your taste buds tingling!<\/p>\n<h2>Jiangsu Cuisine<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/jiangsu.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2507\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/jiangsu.jpg\" alt=\"jiangsu cuisine\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/jiangsu.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/jiangsu-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jiangsu cuisine focuses on soft textures using locally caught fish and seafood. Other ingredients, herbs and spices are picked and chosen for the dish in accordance with the four seasons. Most dishes are cooked in the Wuxi style, which involves the addition of sugar and soy sauce to create a sticky, caramelised flavour.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst the Jiangsu province sits just north of Shanghai, it is easy to see why the most populous city in China is a hub for Jiangsu cuisine.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Lee from <a href=\"http:\/\/shanghai-uncovered.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Shanghai Uncovered<\/a> explains that there is something for everyone when tasting local cuisine in Shanghai. He commented:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI would personally recommend that visitors be a little adventurous and try some of the more local choices \u2013 Shouning Road for example is a small street packed with small stores selling crayfish and the atmosphere alone makes this worth a visit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother worthy stop is Taoyuan Village for typical local breakfast dishes such as \u2018youtiao\u2019 and yellow bean soy milk.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yangzhou, the old style Jiangsu restaurant located in the Luwan District of Shanghai with other branches located across the city, is decorated in the style of buildings of ancient water towns in southern China, and the food is as good as the atmosphere! Signature dishes include crab powder meatballs and shredded chicken with dried beancurd.<\/p>\n<p>Nanling restaurant in the Jing\u2019an District of Shanghai is also a particular favourite with the locals, providing light flavours and tastes such as roast duck and the stir-fried yellow croaker (a kind of fish).<\/p>\n<p>One for those who want to spend a little more on their authentic Jiangsu dining experience, Villa du Lac is situated in a restored and renovated Shikumen house with crisp white, elegant d\u00e9cor. The dishes served are just as eye-opening as the setting, with delicious, authentic Jiangsu cuisine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dish to try:<\/strong> Ji-Su soup \u9cab\u9c7c\u6c64<\/p>\n<h2>Cantonese Cuisine<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/cantonese.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2504\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/cantonese.jpg\" alt=\"cantonese cuisine\" width=\"500\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/cantonese.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/cantonese-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As one of the most familiar here in the UK, Cantonese cooking is already well known as a part of Chinese cuisine. But like all authentic food, it isn\u2019t as good until you have tried it in the native homeland! Cantonese cooking is all about incorporating meat such as beef, chicken and pork. For those brave enough, you can try duck\u2019s tongue, chicken feet and offal, all of which are staple aspects of the dishes served in China. A minimal amount of herbs and spices are added to avoid overwhelming the freshness and quality of the meat, most of which is steamed or stir-fried for ultimate flavour.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/hongkong\/dining\/restaurants\/lung_king_heen\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lung King Heen<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0Hong Kong\u00a0is a\u00a0three\u2013star Michelin restaurant which is\u00a0the ultimate in Cantonese dining and cuisine.

However, Fujian cuisine focuses on seafood and fish to complement the taste of other natural ingredients, such as bamboo shoots and edible mushrooms. Fish sauce and peanuts are among the most common ingredients found in Fujian cuisine.<\/p>\n<p>The Little Glass Food Stall on Xiamen Island offers a wide variety of fresh seafood, including clams, sea cucumber and shrimps. Those who visit the restaurant recommend the sleeve-fish cooked in soy sauce. This is a true taste of Fujian cuisine and the authentic atmosphere that the restaurant provides makes the tasting experience even more enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dish to try:<\/strong> TaiChi Prawns \u592a\u6781\u660e\u867e<\/p>\n<h2>Shandong (Lu) Cuisine<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/shandong.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2508\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/shandong.jpg\" alt=\"shandong cuisine\" width=\"512\" height=\"308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/shandong.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/shandong-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The northern coastal province of Shandong, often described as the \u2018ancient mother of the northern cuisine styles\u2019, boasts simplistic flavours whilst delivering a cuisine to remember. Shandong chefs use the natural spice of the onion family, such as green onions and garlic, whilst adding a choice of fresh salty fish or meat. The style of cooking involves extreme heat stir-frying, also known as \u2018bao\u2019, which allows the ingredients to cook quickly whilst locking in taste and moisture.<\/p>\n<p>Ju Feng De restaurant is said to be one of the oldest restaurants to serve Shandong dishes in Jinan.

There are four sub-styles of Sichuan cooking, the most famous of which is Chengdu, which was declared a UNESCO city of gastronomy in 2011 in recognition of its cuisine. Focusing more on meat than fish, this type of Chinese cuisine highlights depth and full-bodied, moreish flavours.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dish to try:<\/strong> Kung Pao chicken \u5bab\u4fdd\u9e21\u4e01<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TransitBeijing\/?fref=nf\" target=\"_blank\">Transit<\/a>\u00a0is one of the trendiest Sichuan restaurants in the Chaoyang district of Beijing; and it doesn\u2019t hold back on sophistication.
