 | We probably all like Chinese food as it is one of the best in the world, if not the best. I cook whenever I can and get ideas from tv, Chinese friends and from chefs when I am in the country. I would like to learn more, can anyone tell me their favourite dish and how they cook it. Photos would be great or just type away and when I have cooked it I can tell you all about it. |

| I am with Marrie. I prefer Zhe Jiang Cuisine. Shrimp with Green Tea Leaves This elegant dish has its origins in the imperial court of Beijing, where Long Jing tea, or "Dragon Well," from the Hangzhou region, was the most popular in China...The coolness of this tea on one's tongue is quite evident in this recipe.  |

| Each Shanghai person is a picky on food., which may account for the popularity of Hangzhou dishes. The charm of the ancient cuisine has been recognized since the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220). Hangzhou food is representative of the southern style. Reminiscent of the romantic scenery around Hangzhou, these dishes are delicate, tender, refreshing and crisp. All ingredients used in the cooking come from the fertile land around the city, known as a land of plenty. The strict cooking and its exquisite style more than satisfy Shanghai people's demands. ................................

| Mouthwatering Cat's Ear is a must-eat when visiting Hangzhou. Dough that is shaped like a cat's ear is mixed with chicken shreds, diced ham, dried scallops, mushrooms and sliced bamboo shoots and served in soup stock that has been simmered for many hours on the stove. It is one of the symbolic dim sum of the city. Cat's Ear  |
