Shunde is a district in the city of Foshan, Guangdong province, that has long been regarded as the precursor of Cantonese cuisine. Many famous Cantonese chefs hail from Shunde, situated in the Pearl River Delta.
Shunde cuisine features a wide range of river delicacies. From now through Nov 9, you can enjoy Shunde specialties at the Celestial Court restaurant in the St. Regis Beijing. Based on humble ingredients, many dishes appear to be home-style, but require extensive culinary skills to transform simple foods into delicacies.
