In Guangdong, the traditional nine-dish banquet is a symbol of abundance and joy, typically enjoyed during special celebrations like Chinese New Year. With the province’s food scene becoming more diverse thanks to influences from around the world, we’re putting an international twist on this tradition by featuring dishes from nine different countries. In this new episode of “Nine Dishes, A Global Twist,” we’re taking you to Germany!
Today marks the 5th day of the Chinese New Year, a special day in Guangdong where people celebrate the birthday of the God of Fortune. Traditionally, locals enjoy Fa Cai Men Zhu Shou (Pork Knuckle with Fat Choy) to symbolize prosperity and wealth. For our international twist, we introduce Germany’s pork knuckle, a hearty national dish perfect for festive celebrations. Join us as we celebrate cultures and share good fortune!
