A Bite of China – Sugar and Sweet Flavour
2012-09-14 | China Food
Whether in Chinese cuisines or in Chinese language, the Chinese character 味, or flavor in English, is magic and all-inclusive. In Chinese culture, the definition or perception of flavor not only derives from food, but transcends food. That is to say, the real way to understand flavor is more than our tongues and noses. With our hearts, we Chinese can know more about 味. Generally speaking, there are quite a few flavors in cuisines, including, sweetness, sourness, bitterness, hotness, spiciness, saltiness, and freshness.
