The mouth-watering hot pots of Sichuan are as famous overseas as they are in China, and the hot flavour is enough to heat up a cold midwinter evening or to let loose rivers of sweat on a summer afternoon. I gave it my first try last night, together with a few local friends. As the soup bubbled slowly over a gas burner in the middle of the table,its surface was covered with a beautiful layer of chillies,Sichuan peppers, spring onions and red oil. Slowly at first,and then faster and faster, we tipped plates of fresh meat, fish and vegetables into the pot. The hot flavour quickened our laughter and conversation,making the meal the perfect way to relax with friends.

Sichuan hot pots are perfect for the damp, foggy climate in which they were invented. They are believed to have started off in the late Qing Dynasty as a way for boatmen on the Yangtze River to keep warm during the cold and wet winters.In the beginning, the delicious dish was made simply by boiling vegetables,chillies and Sichuan peppers in water. Over time, it has expanded to include multiple options of soups, vegetables, meats and sauces, appealing to people of different tastes. What I love best about Sichuan hot pots is that they offer a great opportunity to socialize with friends since a meal can last for hours. I instantly became a big fan of Sichuan hot pots and I’ll soon be back for more!

Salted duck is Nanjing’s most famous food export. Served plain in thin, white slices, the meat is juicy and salty. Each Nanjing salted duck takes several days to prepare, and the process includes salting, drying, boiling and cooling. As I finished my first helping on a recent afternoon in Nanjing, my host, Chef Zhang, told me a little more about the dish.

Personal experience
The countryside around Nanjing has been famous for its ducks for centuries; its countless waterways make the area perfect for raising waterbirds. A local history book from the late Qing Dynasty praised salted duck in particular, saying it was without equal. Traditionally, duck is considered to have cooling properties, so it is appropriate for the hot summer months. Nowadays,people eat salted duck all year round and it is estimated that tens of thousands of ducks are consumed every day in Nanjing! It definitely hit the spot when I tried it,and it has become one of my personal favourites.

Read the article carefully and answer the following questions.
In Guangzhou, morning tea is such an essential part of the daily routine that “Have you had your tea ” has become the local version of “Good morning.” Though teahouses have been common in China since the Tang Dynasty, the Cantonese innovation of the mid-19th century was to serve tea together with a variety of light dishes, or dim sum. The concept took off, and today Guangzhou’s restaurants stimulate customers’ appetite with over a thousand offerings, each more delicate and delicious than the last.
Brief introduction
History
The Cantonese do not hurry over their breakfasts, as I found when I visited a restaurant in Guangzhou’s old city centre this morning. The emphasis is rather on conversation about business, family or pleasure, and locals can spend hours together chatting, drinking tea and working their way through the menu. From beef balls to rice noodle rolls, there are various dishes that have been baked, boiled,steamed or fried. A single visit is not enough to appreciate everything, and I have a long list of dim sum I still need to try.

B What dish is popular in your hometown Introduce it to a foreign traveller. Explain its popularity, history and features.
The local dish I want to introduce is Yangzhou fried rice. It might be the most famous dish in my hometown,Yangzhou. It is generally believed that the dish dates back to the Sui Dynasty when leftover rice was cooked together with egg and chopped green onion. Over the centuries different ingredients have been added, like meat, to create different recipes. During the Beijing Olympic Games, Yangzhou fried rice was one of the most popular Chinese foods enjoyed by many athletes from different countries. It is now increasingly found on menus in Chinese restaurants all around the world.
