What is Cantonese chinese cuisine? Recipes, cantonese chiken, characteristics, dishes. There is a Chinese proverb that says to “be born in Suzhou, dress in Hangzhou, eat in Canton, die in Liuzhou” (生 在 苏州 ， 穿 在 在 杭州 ， 吃 在 广州 ， 死 在 柳州 shēng zài sūzhou, chuān zài hángzhōu , chī zài guǎngzhōu, sǐ zài liǔzhōu).
Why is that? Because it is in Suzhou where we find the most beautiful women, in Hangzhou the best silk and in Liuzhou the best wood to make your coffin. And if it is necessary to eat in Canton (Guangzhou) is of course because it is, in the opinion of the Chinese themselves, in this city where the best food is.
