Hong Kong Slow Food Dinner

¡§The Cuisine of the Shun Tak Region¡¨

This is another Slow Food Dinner celebrating the regional cuisines of China. This time the food region is closer to home as we explore the food ways of Shun Tak cooking. One of the special features of the evening is the chance to enjoy Shun Tak food in almost its heartland, or close enough - in the private clubrooms of the Shun Tak Association of Hong Kong. Those who know this private club know how authentic the food is and how hard it is to get a tavle!

Shun Tak cuisine ("Shunde") has long been widely regarded as the basis for exquisite Cantonese cuisine. While the cuisine of Guangzhou has been historically very minimalist in the use of flavorings, food from Shun Tak is celebrated for its liberal use of ingredients such as sun dried tangerine peel and dates, resulting in simple but powerful flavors.

Situated in the Pearl River Delta, Shun Tak cuisine has easy access to a wide range of river water or fresh water delicacies. One of the dishes: "Braised Pomelo Skin with Shrimp Roe" is a fusion of both. In addition, the region is well known for its dairy-based dishes. Buffalo and cow milk is a famous specialty of Shun Tak¡¦s Daliang sub-district. One of the traditional dishes is "Daliang Stir-fried Milk". The milk becomes solid when mixed with egg whites and then stir-fried, the snow-white mixture remains slippery smooth and soft, but is firm enough to be picked up and eaten with chopsticks.

Many of the dishes appear as humble, home-style cooking, but the preparation techniques and careful balances of tastes and texture require experience and extensive culinary skills.
