This cake has a silky, cloud-like texture when eaten at room temperature. A sip melts in your mouth, and the cheesy aroma fills your nose. It's sweet but not cloying, absolutely delicious! Freezing it in the freezer is even more amazing! Once you take it out of the freezer, it has a texture like cheese ice cream: dense and slightly icy, the cheese flavor is even stronger, and the sweetness isn't overpowering. In the summer, a piece of this is cool and fragrant, and the refreshing feeling spreads from your mouth to your heart. It's even more satisfying than a brand-name dessert. It's a true freezer "happiness bomb"! This cake has been requested countless times by the Divine Beast. While it's truly delicious, it's a bit of a hassle to make. It definitely cured my procrastination. When this cake was placed on the table, the Divine Beast's eyes lit up, and I muttered to myself, "Next time...next time, I'll definitely not procrastinate." (Of course, whether I can actually do that is another matter.)
During a training session on Traditional Chinese Medicine's "Medicine and Food Have the Same Origin" (Chinese Medicine and Food), the instructor specifically mentioned that "Pitaya Flower Soup" is a signature Cantonese summer soup! (It was only through the training that I learned that "Pitaya Flower" is actually the flower of the dragon fruit.) Pitaya Flower itself clears heat and moistens the lungs, acting like a "cooling air conditioner" for your respiratory tract. Drinking this soup can be incredibly soothing for a dry cough in the summer. Pork bones replenish calcium and protein, and with our high daily activity levels, drinking this soup can boost our energy. Carotene, known as "little ginseng," is rich in vitamin A, which can relieve dry eyes and brighten skin. Apricot kernels and figs moisten the lungs, relieve coughs, and aid digestion. After a heavy barbecue hot pot meal, a bowl of this soup can also help alleviate stomach discomfort. This summer soup clears heat and moisturizes dryness, while also nourishing the body, making it suitable for the whole family. Those who appreciate life and appreciate the "sigh" (enjoyment) of life should definitely try this summer soup!
This Sichuan-Chongqing konjac beer duck is perfect for those on a weight-conscious diet! The konjac's chewy texture is smooth and chewy, absorbing the fresh aroma of both the duck and beer.

For those of you who are trying to control your weight but crave this dish, you'll love its tangy aroma and satisfying feeling. Every bite is a win-win for both deliciousness and weight management!

Sichuan and Chongqing's salty shaobai (rice shao) is a melt-in-your-mouth pork belly. The fatty, glutinous pork belly is not greasy at all, while the lean pork belly is perfectly flavorful.

I have always been craving for the pineapple filling with a fibrous texture, but I have been lying down for a long time because of laziness. Recently, pineapples are on the market like crazy, and the price is 3 yuan per catty. If I hesitate to buy them, it would be disrespectful to the "passionate rush" of pineapples! I decisively paid the full amount and picked up 5 in seconds, and the scale weighed about 8 catties. Although pineapples and pineapples are different, pineapples are so expensive that it hurts to eat, while pineapples are readily available and can be easily replaced! When they are refined into golden and sweet fillings, the whole house will be filled with fruity fragrance. I want to make sure that there are real pineapples in the pineapple buns 😝. The key is to make them by myself, and every bite is the joy of real ingredients. The main theme is "eat arrogantly and play crazy"!
