Cantonese fritters
You talk about the traditional culture of Guangdong, and morning tea is one of the most colorful strokes.
Every weekend or holiday, Cantonese people will help the old and the young, or about three or five confidants, gathered in the tea house "sigh morning tea". "Sigh" means enjoyment in Cantonese, so it can be seen that drinking morning tea is a pleasant pastime in the minds of Cantonese people, and in this sense it is no different from other recreational activities.
Since the name is "morning tea", tea is naturally an indispensable part of Guangdong morning tea. The tea of morning tea is mainly black tea, which is taken to warm the stomach and remove greasy, which is conducive to digestion. Common fermented tea (Anhua black tea, Pu'er tea, etc.), oolong tea (Tieguanyin, Da Hong Pao, etc.), some people also like to drink Jupu tea, that is, add chrysanthemums to Pu'er tea, take its cool fire. Black tea is dark red in color, thick in soup, bitter in taste, although it is not as good as green tea in terms of vision and taste, it is a perfect match with the rich flavor of tea in Guangdong morning tea.

And all kinds of porridge points, such as the first porridge, skinny egg lean porridge, raw rolling fish fillet porridge, etc., are based on a soft and smooth porridge base, with different meat, fish and eggs, and then with crispy shrimp slices, green and tender green onions, sprinkled with a small spoonful of pepper, drinking cottony sweet, umami flavor.
