Ah it's finally Saturday! And we know you're craving some Chinese food! So here's a little trivia about our favorite cuisine... So in the time of great Confucius in the late Zhou dynasty, gastronomy had become a high art. Confucius has frequently discussed the principles of dining, like the one above.👆We bet you liked the last bit more🍷😂 Okay getting back to it, so during Shi Huangdi's Qin dynasty, the empire expanded into the south. By the time of the Han Dynasty, the different regions and cuisines of China's people were linked by major canals and leading to a greater complexity in the different regional cuisines. Not only is food seen as giving "chi", energy (you definitely know this from the KungFu Panda movie), but food is also about maintaining yin and yang.The philosophy behind it was rooted in the Chinese traditional medicine. Food was judged for color, aroma, taste, and texture and a good meal was expected to balance the Four Natures ('hot', warm, cool, and 'cold') and the Five Tastes (pungent, sweet, sour, bitter, and salty). This is why the Chinese cuisine comprises of these beautiful combinations of tastes. I guess thats enough story telling for today 😁. Now get up and knock at Kimling for authentic Chinese food.😋 And follow us for more such updates.
