Characteristics and characteristics of Guangzhou's diet

1. Have morning tea

People in Guangzhou love to drink tea, especially morning tea. When we meet in the morning, we often greet each other with "Have you had tea" (meaning "Have you had tea"), which shows our preference for tea. Drinking tea is a life custom of Guangzhou people. There is a folk proverb that "a pot of tea in the morning does not need a doctor". When people in Guangzhou say drinking tea, they actually mean drinking tea in a teahouse (formerly called teahouse). Not only drink morning tea, but also eat snacks (as breakfast); Drink not only morning tea, but also afternoon tea and evening tea; Not only can you fill your stomach, but you can also spread news, talk about your family and negotiate business.

Drinking tea in Guangzhou is actually a way of social communication, which is also an important reason why the teahouse industry in Guangzhou has been enduring for a hundred years. Among the time-honored restaurants in Guangzhou, quite a few were teahouses and teahouses of that year.

People who drink tea in Guangzhou can be roughly divided into two categories: one is regular customers who arrive every morning; Fixed teahouses are generally "one cup" (ribs rice) and "two pieces" (snacks), and most of these people are retired people; The other is drinking "tea worship", that is, drinking tea on rest days is not limited to "one cup or two", but calmly tasting various snacks and "sighing tea". There are three tea markets in Guangzhou every day: morning, noon and evening, among which the morning tea market is the most prosperous. From early morning to eleven o'clock at noon, it is often packed, and drinking tea at night is gradually booming, especially in midsummer.

2. Dinner

Midnight snack is a life custom of Guangzhou people, usually after 10 in the evening, hence the name "midnight snack" or "midnight snack". The way of midnight snack varies from person to person. Some people cook by themselves at night, and some people alone or invite three or five close friends to eat at street food stalls or night markets in teahouses and restaurants. As a result, a number of "night market food streets" and "night market" teahouses of various teahouse hotels have gradually formed in the city. The night market in the teahouse often has a music teahouse to attract diners.
