The Stereotype About Chinese Food Is Wrong
Many people hold the stereotype that Chinese cuisine is nothing but soy sauce, heavy oil, and excessive salt—but Cantonese cooking couldn’t be further from that.
It is rooted in lightness and freshness.
Despite having a vast range of cooking methods, Cantonese chefs are very restrained with seasonings, always prioritizing each ingredient’s natural taste.
And this is just one of the many regional styles within Chinese cuisine.
The five of us spent a total of 402 yuan on this meal.

Anyone who says this hasn't had Japanese food. That stuff is basically salt and soy sauce.
What's wrong with relying on seasonings? Food should be seasoned properly. I think a better criticism would be the willingness of chinese people to making anything a food
No one has a problem with seasonings. It’s when you use the same seasoning on every single thing, from meat to vegetables to rice to noodles (soy sauce) 😂
Same. Some Chinese don’t think the western cuisine should be put on human’s table.
I love Chinese food.❤❤❤
That duck looks delicious
Alot of people nowadays online can't fathom the idea of ingredients having their own natural flavor and believe everything is bland unless buried in spices.
$58 for all of that? ayo I want to order some, here in north thats a deal.
And western food is just butter salt black pepper
What food is at 0:09 ???
they say that because they've only had panda express and even panda express isn't just soy sauce, orange chicken, spring roll, sweet and sour pork aren't even soy sauce based
Tbh Chinese do love the shiny look on a dish which involves oil, a quick stir fry over high temperature which also requires oil to keep the texture and juiciness. However many dishes are not greasy, but they are not viral on YouTube
what was he eating when he said "its rooted in lightness…"
I do agree with what you say about Cantonese cuisines but the ones you’ve shown in the videos (roasted chickens and ducks and friend sticks) are exactly opposite except that white beans. 😅
Nah ,the oil is still unacceptable
