Today is Chinese New Year's Eve night, and the "disappearing famous dish" makes Chinese New Year's Eve rice more cultural. In order to practice the task of "new vitality of the old city, four new and brilliant", the Guangzhou Museum dug deep into the cultural relics resources of the collection, studied the old menus and old recipes of the early Cantonese restaurants in the Republic of China, and found that the feast system and dishes of the Republic of China were very different from the current Cantonese cuisine.
In order to find the authentic old taste that has passed away, to find those famous dishes that were common in the past but are now difficult to find for various reasons, and to re-activate and awaken the cultural relics hidden in the museum and the "nostalgia" that lives in people's memories, the Guangzhou Museum and the China Hotel under the Lingnan Group jointly create the "Disappearing Famous Dishes" brand project.
The project is carefully selected by the chef team of China Hotel from the old menu of local famous restaurants in the early Republic of China, such as Lu Yuju, Xinhua Restaurant, South China Restaurant, etc., gathering the authoritative forces of the catering industry such as Cantonese cuisine taidou, repeatedly experimenting with research and development, tasting several times, and striving to highly restore, so that the lost Cantonese cuisine can return to the table, and the ordinary ingredients are turned into exquisite classic dishes, which vividly reflects the essence of Cantonese cuisine genes.
Since its launch on October 23 last year, the project has attracted much attention and hot rods in the market, and many diners have come to book. The "Yaxi Cantonese Banquet", which consists of "disappearing famous dishes", can only be booked for a maximum of 6 seats a day at the China Hotel (10 people/table, and the Yaxi Cantonese Banquet can be booked from 10 people). In order to allow more citizens to taste these famous dishes reproduced from cultural relics, China Grand Hotel specially provides scattered services for interested food lovers, of which "Jiangnan Hundred Flowers Chicken" and "Pineapple Bath Day" (meaning one of the eight scenic spots of Yangcheng in the Ming and Qing Dynasties) are the most popular and have the highest ordering rate.
The "Disappearing Famous Dishes" restores the regulations, procedures and cultural meanings of the Republic of China Cantonese feasts such as "Yijing Fruit", "Yisheng Fruit", "Wanton Cold Meat", "Wanton Hot Meat", "Six Bowls", "Staple Food" and "Dim Sum", and the "Wanton Cold Meat" that appears in the cold dishes of its "foreplay" is the "appetizer" of people a hundred years ago.
In order to make the "disappearing famous dishes" show the high level of Cantonese cuisine, The China Hotel has taken out the precious utensils that have been treasured for 36 years and are enough for 6 tables to be used, and truly achieve "good dishes with delicacies". It can be said that the "disappearing famous dishes" show a strong cultural atmosphere from the selection of ingredients, the selection of utensils to the standard of presentation. The dishes and banquets of the "Disappearing Famous Dishes" will continue to be developed and will continue to be adapted to the seasons.
The "Disappearing Famous Dishes" project is a useful exploration and attempt by the Guangzhou Museum and the China Grand Hotel to strengthen the deep integration of cultural tourism and innovate to promote the new and brilliant cultural tourism industry. Through the "tourism + cultural cuisine" model, the "disappearing famous dishes" will be built into a new brand of local cultural tourism, so that cultural relics and traditional culture can be brought alive, and a new brilliant boost will be given to the construction of Guangzhou's urban culture.
