Find your favourite regional cuisine in Geelong's Chinese restaurants
The popular dishes found on the menus of many Chinese restaurants in Geelong are actually the product of a number of different regional traditions. Dim sum and other small dishes are typical of Cantonese cooking, while dishes from Sichuan tend to be bold and spicy, often flavoured with Sichuan pepper, chilli, garlic and ginger. Anhui cooking reflects the mountainous nature of the region and makes much use of herbs, vegetables, bamboos and mushrooms. Shandong dishes are often salty, crisp and tender and the region is well known for its broths, soups and seafood. Famous Jiangsu dishes include Jinling salted and dried duck, pork meatballs in crab shell powder and steamed jerky strips. If you're looking for a bit of spice, meanwhile, look out for hot Hunan dishes of smoked meats, stews and pickles.
