Light cheesecake

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.)

Yuexia Qingrun Bawang Flower Bone Soup

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!

Sichuan and Chongqing mixed rice noodle steamed banquet

When you eat steamed pork with rice flour outside, it's either just steamed pork or just steamed pork ribs with rice flour. It's unlike making it at home, where you can add whatever you want! My portion includes steamed pork with rice flour, pork ribs, and pork belly. The pork belly's soft, glutinous skin, coated in rice flour, melts in your mouth. For a savory bite, try the pork ribs, where the spiciness of the bones is infused with the flavor of spices. For a leaner dish, try the pork belly, which is firm, flavorful, and not too dry. It perfectly captures all the flavors. And since it's homemade, the seasoning is generous, and the flavor comes purely from the ingredients and the care put into making it. If you like spicy food, add chili powder for a satisfying flavor. Every bite is satisfying, and it's much more satisfying than the monotonous portions you get out there! Speaking of Sichuan and Chongqing steamed pork with rice flour, it's a favorite dish of the locals. When dining at a restaurant in Sichuan and Chongqing, the first thing you'll hear as you enter is, "Boss, give me some steamed pork with rice flour. I want the delicious kind!" Steamed pork with rice flour is a favorite in Sichuan and Chongqing. Just like Chongqing residents can't live without hot pot and Chengdu residents can't live without teahouses, it's an essential dish on every household's dining table. It's even a must-have during festivals.

Sichuan and Chongqing people love pumpkin, mushroom, and rice crust (Kong Fan)

In Sichuan and Chongqing, this braised rice dish is known as "Kong Fan." Braised pumpkin, dried mushrooms, and rice create a golden rice dish that blends the sweetness of pumpkin with the savory flavors of mushrooms and minced meat. The crispy texture of rice crust and the chewy, soft texture of pumpkin create a truly delicious dish. Even without the added ingredients, you'll still be left wanting more!

Black sesame nut energy bread (crispy on the outside and soft on the inside)

This European bread is a great choice for a healthy diet. Based on whole grains and black sesame powder, it's rich in dietary fiber, promoting intestinal motility and aiding digestion. Paired with walnuts and raisins, the walnuts provide unsaturated fatty acids, protein, and various trace elements, while the raisins contain natural sugars and antioxidants, making it a nutritious and sugar-free option. Olive oil can be used instead of butter to reduce saturated fat intake. Unprocessed, it retains the original nutrients of the ingredients, providing a strong sense of satiety and helping to control calorie intake. Whether enjoyed as breakfast or a snack, it provides sustained energy while satisfying both taste buds and health needs, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a balanced, low-fat diet.

The shrimp are roasted to a brilliant red, chewy and flavorful, and you'll be hooked! The key is that this dish is high in protein and low in fat, making it easy to eat and satisfying.

Salted pork bone and dried vegetable porridge to reduce internal heat

In Guangdong, this bowl of salted pork bone, dried vegetable, and peanut porridge is a lifesaver for those experiencing internal heat! It's my go-to when my throat gets dry and my mouth blisters. The pork bones are pre-marinated with salt and spices, resulting in a savory and flavorful porridge. The meat between the bones is rich in salt and flavor, making it incredibly satisfying to chew. The dried vegetables, a unique Guangdong specialty, absorb the essence of the porridge, leaving them soft, chewy, and with a unique vegetable aroma. The peanuts are stewed until soft and soft, melting in your mouth. The porridge is thick, and every spoonful is packed with the umami flavor of the ingredients, a salty, savory, and sweet lingering taste that moistens your tongue and throat. Having a bowl of this when you're experiencing internal heat is like installing a dual "fire-extinguishing and nourishing" system on your body. Heat quickly dissipates, leaving you feeling moisturized from the inside out and feeling incredibly comfortable! This "fire-reducing" porridge is a must-have at home! My little beast sipped three bowls straight.

walnut, sesame, peanut brocade rolls (packets)

The filling blends the rich, mellow aroma of black sesame powder, the crunchy grains of peanuts and walnuts, and the gentle sweetness of milk powder. The multifaceted flavors intertwine, each bite offering a nutty crunch and the richness of sesame, a sweet yet non-cloying experience. The dough is also infused with black sesame powder. After steaming, the aroma of wheat permeates the air, mingling with the scorched aroma of sesame. The soft dough envelops the generous filling. One bite is filled with a soft exterior and fragrant interior. The richness of sesame, the crunch of nuts, and the aroma of milk are a comforting blend from nose to taste. It's a perfect fusion of traditional pastry and nutty flavors, incredibly delicious. By the time I realized it, my stomach was already swollen. The sight of the scale instantly sobered me up—but then I thought, trading three sweet, soft sesame and nut snacks for a solid meal is a real bargain! After all, the dough is so chewy and the filling is so flavorful, it would be a shame not to eat enough.

Passion Fruit and Pineapple Sauce Spare Ribs

This passion fruit and pineapple juice pork ribs dish is a surprising and innovative flavorful creation I encountered while traveling in Nanning. After trying the local passion fruit pork ribs in Nanning, a core passion fruit producing area, I added homemade pineapple juice to elevate the flavor. The golden, translucent passion fruit shells serve as a delicate container, nestling the ribs, smothered in a rich sauce and sprinkled with white sesame seeds. The appearance alone is breathtaking. The sweetness of my homemade pineapple juice blends beautifully with the tartness of the passion fruit, softening the rich sauce flavor of the ribs and allowing the dual fruity notes to spread across the palate. This dish boasts a refreshing tropical fruit flavor over the local original. Bromelain simmers the ribs until they are tender and flavorful, and each bite offers a delicate balance of sweet and sour, salty, and savory, creating a unique flavor experience. Although the price of this dish in the local area is a bit pricey - almost a hundred dollars, once you have tasted it, you will know that it is worth the money. Once you have tasted it, you will never forget it!
