I stumbled upon this book in the library today, and clicked on it immediately after seeing the title. I've only read the first few chapters so far, and as other readers have said, the content is far superior to most so-called food books. Moreover, the content is very Cantonese, which is perfect for a local like me, as I'm from Guangzhou, and I even felt the strong local flavor.
Sure, but I think you could try revising it and then submitting it to a local publisher.
I've lived in Guangdong for over thirty years, listening to and speaking Cantonese, but the textbooks don't use Cantonese.
I'm so reluctant to say goodbye now that I've caught up. Thinking back to my childhood breakfasts, they were quite ordinary – just white glutinous rice balls, usually with fried dough sticks, ham sausage, and pickled vegetables. The fried dough sticks were freshly fried and very crispy; one bite and your mouth would be full of oil.
Author, do these shops have real-life counterparts? Could you please tell me their locations?
I'm taking leave today.
I'm out of town and really can't make it, so I'm asking for a day off...
I'm getting hungry.
I was browsing food-related entries late at night when, amidst a sea of long titles, I stumbled upon a book with only three characters and instinctively added it to my favorites. I must say, it truly deserves the title of "excellent." The writing is incredibly smooth, and most importantly, it made me hungry.
Could you tell me where the shop is? I'd like to go try it after the pandemic ends. 😊
Well, mixing Cantonese and Mandarin feels a bit awkward. But if it's all Cantonese, some people can't understand it.
Discovered a gem of an author! Overjoyed!
