(Reported by Sunbird Special Correspondent Wang Shuai) Chinese overseas, whether they are overseas Chinese who have lived in the United States for many years and have taken root in the United States, or the vast group of international students who have just set foot on the North American continent. The most nostalgic thing, but also the most difficult to adapt to, is the diet.

Needless to say, the Chinese cuisine is extensive and profound. The cooking techniques alone are much more sophisticated than those of Western cuisine, not to mention the various major cuisines that have a long history and are in full bloom. The Chinese food that follows the local customs in America is, firstly, very restrictive in terms of genres, mainly Sichuan cuisine, which is the most widespread; secondly, the taste has changed to adapt to the sweet and oily tastes of Americans. Compatriots who want to eat authentic Chinese food have to spend a lot of money.

What we are going to introduce today is a famous Cantonese tea restaurant in the Phoenix metropolitan area, famous for its authentic and traditional Cantonese morning tea (dim-sum). This is the China king restaurant located in Chandler.

Morning tea is a kind of food with special characteristics of Guangdong and Hong Kong. According to legend, it emerged during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty. Teahouses were almost synonymous with social places at that time. At first they only provided simple tea snacks as decorations. Later, teahouse operators found that tea snacks were more popular, so they made more and more exquisite tea snacks.

The main types of morning tea include Pu'er, chrysanthemum, oolong, Tieguanyin, etc., which are suitable for nourishing the lungs and nourishing the stomach. Morning tea snacks are mainly divided into dry and wet ones: dry ones refer to pastries, steamed dumplings, steamed buns, etc. Wet refers to porridge, tofu curd, braised food, etc. As a Chinese restaurant famous for its morning tea, Blue Sky Restaurant has many classic dishes to choose from, such as pineapple buns, which is a very popular pastry.

The outside of the bread is baked to be extremely fluffy, while the coconut filling inside is extremely smooth. The most commendable thing is that the sweetness is just right, making this dessert not too greasy. If you catch the heat of the oven, there will still be extremely soft pineapple buns, and then accompany it with a pot of chrysanthemum tea or preserved egg lean meat porridge and porridge. After tasting it carefully, it may be easy to understand why Cantonese people are willing to sit in the teahouse for several hours.

In addition to authentic traditional refreshments, Blue Sky Restaurant also has some innovative creations adapted to American tastes, such as fried eggplant and fried shrimp balls. If you want to try something new besides traditional tea snacks, you might as well give this snack with "American characteristics" a try.

The entire restaurant is decorated in a unified Chinese style, and most of the waiters are Chinese, and you can even see older aunties working enthusiastically. If you are tired of eating American food and modified Chinese cuisine, this traditional Chinese morning tea should be a good choice for people who miss Chinese food.
