食在广州,食肆遍布,在广州,每走一条街,总能找到茶楼的身影,“饮茶”的基因已深深地刻在广州人的骨子里。在2022年广东省五一劳动奖章获得者、广州酒家广式点心制作技艺第六代传承人韦兴顺看来,点心是茶楼的灵魂,他见证了广式点心从传统走向精致、健康等变化趋势。色、香、味、形,一款广式点心浓缩了广式点心师傅的精湛手艺。随着市场对点心的要求更加多元,广式点心师傅在传统的基础上加以创新,即在视觉和造型上加以改变,但不抛弃传统,保留点心的传统制作技艺、馅料味道等精髓。他认为,将制作技艺和现代认知相结合,才能将广式点心发扬光大。
In Guangzhou, culinary establishments are omnipresent. Walking down any street, one can easily spot the silhouette of a tea house. The habit of tea drinking was engraved in Cantonese people's bones. According to Wei Xingshun, the sixth-generation inheritor of Cantonese dim sum craftsmanship at Guangzhou Restaurant and a recipient of the 2022 May Day Labor Medal in Guangdong, dim sum is the soul of a tea house. He has borne witness to the evolution of Cantonese dim sum from its traditional roots to the modern trends of refinement and health consciousness. Color, aroma, taste, and shape are a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of a Cantonese dim sum master. As the market's demands for dim sum become more diverse, the masters innovate upon tradition, altering visual and stylistic aspects while retaining the essence of traditional dim sum, including the artisanal techniques and the distinctive tastes of the fillings. He believes that combining these time-honored techniques with modern sensibilities is crucial to promoting the glory of Cantonese dim sum.
