Cantonese cuisine originates from Guangdong province in Southern China, or more precisely, the area around Canton (Guangzhou). Of the various regional styles of Chinese cuisine, Cantonese is the best known outside China. The prominence of Cantonese cuisine outside China is likely due to the disproportionate early emigration from this region, as well as the relative accessibility of some Cantonese dishes to foreign palates. Cantonese cuisine has widely been regarded as the pinnacle of Chinese regional fare, because of the immensity and diversity of the ingredients used and stresses fresh ingredients, natural flavours, stir & deep frying, quick cooking and steaming. There is a Cantonese saying: "We will eat anything on the ground with legs except tables and chairs, eat anything in the sky except airplanes and eat anything that swims except submarine." Further Cantonese saying: "Any animal whose back faces the sun can be eaten".
