Chinese gourmet dishes are noted as among the world's authentic and finest fine dining cuisines. The recipes for such excellent Chinese specialties were handed down by Chinese ancestors to the present culinary experts. The selection of
delicious and appealing Chinese gourmet cuisines are not only served in fine dining establishments in China, but also by other international restaurants in the world. Moreover, Chinese gourmet dishes originated from four different regions of the country: the Teochew, Cantonese, Hokkien, and Hakka.
It has been known thousands of years ago that Chinese specialty dishes originated from the
Chinese royalties, then filtered down through the homes of some powerful and rich private homes. This further spread and went on to the fine dining restaurants, where only the privileged are entertained. Today's Chinese gourmet dining is an opulent and lavish affair, which usually consists of eight to ten course meals. One dish that is specially favored by many royals or important people (like me) is the Chinese Cantonese short ribs. This is also among the preferred dish in Chinese gourmet dining.
