  1. Indian here. After watching this, I must say that Chinese food is very similar to my cuisine in sense that both cuisines are made up of several sub-cuisines. Indian cuisine includes Punjabi, Gujarati, Bengali (not Bangladeshi food, but rather the food of West Bengal- a Bengali speaking Indian state), Odia, Marathi, South Indian, and many more – probably way more cuisines than Chinese food consists of.

  2. I was born into Malaysia and I’m Fujian. And most of the ppl around me are also Fujian until I moved from the suburban areas to live in the city where most local Chinese are Cantonese (Guan Dong)
    Pretty accurate video for covering the eight Chinese cuisine. It is true that the Cantonese enjoy “wild” tastes which is called “野(pronounced “yeah”)味”. But most of my Cantonese friends who are younger do not have those tendencies. No dogs, bats, monkeys, hedgehogs or any wild animals. But toads are often used to brew soup or porridge which is said to cure malaria.
