There's one Cantonese food that we're all familiar with in the West, dim sum.
有一樣廣東美食我們在西方都很熟悉，那就是點心
I'm taking Ching to the locals' favourite restaurant
我帶著黃瀞億來到當地人最喜愛的餐廳
in the city that gave birth to this worldwide delicacy.
這種享譽全球的菜式便是出自那家餐廳
Eating it here is more a ritual than a dining experience.
在這里吃東西更像一種儀式而不僅僅是一次用餐體驗
I want to bring you to the best dim sum in Guangzhou.
我要帶你品嘗廣州最好的點心
I can't wait. Well, this is your town.
我迫不及待了，這是你的城市
Built in 1935, Guangzhou Restaurant is on three floors,
建立于1935年的廣州酒家共有三層
serves up to 10,000 people every day,
每天可為多達1萬人服務
and employs chefs who train for decades.
廚師都經過了幾十年的訓練
Isn't this beautiful? Wow.
真漂亮，看看這兒
I'll sit right next to you. Thank you.
我坐你旁邊。謝謝
This is very nice.
這里真不錯
Some restaurants offer customers pre-prepared dishes,
一些餐廳提供的菜是提前做好的
but here, everything is cooked fresh to order.
但是這里都是現點現做
There are hundreds of varieties of dim sum here,
這里有幾百種不同的點心
from steamed dumplings to chicken feet,
從蒸餃到鳳爪
and one of my favourites, lotus leaves stuffed with sticky rice.
有一樣是我最喜歡的，就是荷葉糯米雞
Shall we split one first?
我們先剝開一個嘗嘗
Yeah, let's have this one.
好的，我們來剝開這個
OK, I love this, let's share.
好，我很喜歡這個，我們一起品嘗一下
That's beautiful.
好極了
And what I love is to see all the beautiful inside
我喜歡它的地方就是看到里面美妙的餡兒
look at that - mushroom, pork, belly pork,
看看，有蘑菇，豬肉，五花肉
and that looks like a little bit of chicken, salted duck egg.
這個看起來有點像雞肉，還有咸鴨蛋
Look at how much skill has gone into it.
看看做這些所要包涵的技藝
And just because it's cheap doesn't mean that
它很便宜，但這不意味著
it shouldn't be up there as one of the best cuisines in the world.
它不配被譽為世界上最好的菜肴之一
And it's perfection. It's perfection.
完美。的確完美
The tradition of eating dim sum started centuries ago in small tea houses along the Silk Road.
吃點心起源于幾個世紀前，絲綢路上的小茶館里
Yum cha, which means "drink tea", is a ritual that goes hand in hand with dim sum.
“飲茶”就是喝茶，和點心一起吃是一種慣例
It's the Cantonese equivalent of having a biscuit with your cuppa.
這種廣式吃法和英國人喝茶吃點心的行為實質上一樣
Here, where tea is considered the elixir of life,
這里，茶被認為是靈丹妙藥
granting the drinker eternal youth,
可使人永葆青春
this part of the tradition is taken very seriously.
人們很注重這部分的傳統
