What did people eat in a Canton tea house a hundred years ago?

Season 5 of the acclaimed ‘Rediscovery’ culinary project by China Hotel, Guangzhou and the Guangzhou Museum answers that question—recreating long-lost Cantonese dishes inspired by tea house menus from the early 20th century.

🍲 Over 30 vintage recipes were reinterpreted by a team of chefs and historians, resulting in 8 beautifully crafted dishes that blend authenticity with modern tastes:
• Chicken & Watermelon Soup – steamed in a hollowed melon for hours
• Shrimp-Skin Dumplings in Supreme Broth – featuring nearly lost wrapper techniques
• Crispy Fish Maw with Sichuan Pepper, Scallion-Scented Qilin Egg, and more

More than just a meal, ‘Rediscovery’ is a cultural reawakening—honoring Guangdong’s culinary heritage through food, storytelling, and design.
