S.H.E - Eating in Guangzhou
[2008.11.18]
It is not a secret that the three members of S.H.E enjoyed their food. Two days ago when they arrived to Guangzhou to promote their new album [My Station FM S.H.E], this reporter brought along some well-known Guangzhou dim-sum and snacks while visiting them. Looking at the Guangzhou dim-sum aroused all three girls’ appetites. After making a quick meal of the food, particularly all seven dim-sum items brought by the reporter were gone. They praised the food as being extremely delicious and even revealed that in Taiwan, they would often order similar dim-sums when eat out in Hong-Kong style cafés. However when it came to actual taste, it was still the ones in Guangzhou were the most authentic. Let’s savor S.H.E’s journey of “Eating in Guangzhou”.
This time, this reporter brought along seven types of the most representative dim-sums to visit, including the famous Guangzhou dim-sum “Fresh Shrimp Siu-Mai” dumpling, “Flaky Crust Egg Tart”, “Golden BBQ Pork Puff” and other specialty dim-sums such as “Four style Crystal Bun”, “Silver Flaky Puff”, “Fish and Clam Meatball” and “Sticky Coconut Candy”. When the dim-sums were opened in front of the three girls, Selina was already starting to salivate. However because they could not eat until the photographer finished with their photo session, Selina had no choice but restrained herself with a resigned expression.
After the photographer finished, Ella was the first one to reach her chopsticks towards the “Fresh Shrimp Siu-Mai” that she had been eyeing, "I always order this dim-sum when I eat at Hong-Kong style Cafés in Taiwan. The ones in Taiwan used crab meat but I like the Guangzhou way of using fresh shrimp a lot as well." In order to prevent her favorite food from being taken by someone else, the naughty Ella would give a lick to “mark” the items she liked before putting it back down. In the end, this behavior led to Hebe’s “beating” her up because Hebe accidentally ate a piece of “Ella-marked” Fresh Shrimp Siu-Mai. The food loving Ella continued on to focus her attention to the “Fish and Clam Meatball” after she finished the Siu-Mai dumpling, "Other than being a bit too oily, this type of dim-sum is very tasty." Even so, Ella still finished off this dim-sum quickly.
To Selina who had always loved good food, the first item she pointed her chopsticks to was the “Flaky Crust Egg Tart”, "I always like to eat sweets and I like eating egg tarts. I feel that it is both unique and tasty." Later, Selina reached with her chopsticks for the “Sticky Coconut Candy”, "I really like this type with the coconut taste."
In comparison, out of the three, Hebe could be considered as the most restrained. She was most interested in the “Golden BBQ Pork Puff” and the “Silver Flaky Puff”. Although she sampled every item, but she mostly concentrated on eating the ones she liked and quickly finished off all her favorite food.
The Favorite of the Trio
Ella’s Favorite: Fresh Shrimp Siu-Mai dumpling
Personal Habit: Gives the snack she liked a lick to “mark possession” and puts it back
Selina’s Favorite: Flaky Crusted Egg Tarts
Personal Habit: Likes to eat sweets
Hebe’s Favorite: Golden BBQ Pork Puff
Personal Habit: Eating with Restraint, concentrating on eating her own favorite items.
S.H.E’s Favorite Food
Ella: Noodles in Soup with Pickled Tuber and Shredded Pork
Selina: Rice with Braised Pork, Meatball in Soup and Sticky Rice
Hebe: Spicy Hot Pot and sweets
Ella admitted that her favorite food was noodles, ,"My favorite is sitting in the night market in Taipei and eating a bowl of noodles with pickled tuber and shredded pork and drinking the soup. I feel that is a great enjoyment in life. Furthermore, the soup is free and could even ask for refills when it is finished."
The favorite of the weight-conscious Selina turned out to be food high in carbohydrate, "I love rice. For example, the famous Taiwan dish of rice with braised pork is my favorite. Meatballs in soup and sticky rice are also my favorites as well."
Hebe openly admitted that her taste leaned towards being spicy, "My favorite is Spicy Hot Pot. The spicier, the better I like it. And sweets are also my favorite as well." Upon hearing Hebe speaking about spicy food, Ella happily added: "I have to take Chinese medicine recently, so I can’t eat any spicy food."
Since entering the business so many years ago, their travels had brought them all over the world. In regards to the fine cuisine of various places, S.H.E said simultaneously: "Our favorite is Thai cuisine. We really like the curry and the Sour & Spicy Prawn Soup there. We actually wanted to go there and eat to our heart’s content. We can eat all day there."
S.H.E’s Food Taboos
Ella: No beef
Selina: No beef, cat meat or dog meat
Hebe: No MSG
It turned out that both Ella and Selina did not eat beef. However, other than that, Ella did not have any other food taboos, "I can only say that I won’t eat anything that taste bad. But I don’t really know what taste really bad. I simply go with my instinct." In addition to beef, Selina self-proclaimed that she would not eat any animal that was under protection, "We refuse to eat any animal that is rare and under protection. Also, we don’t eat cute animals such as cats and dogs either." As for Hebe, her taste was somewhat “strange”, "I am very sensitive to MSG, therefore I don’t eat anything that contains MSG."
S.H.E’s Most Unforgettable Food Experience
Selina: Finding a dead thingyroach in her Eel Rice
Ella: Feeling dizzy after eating Mango Pudding
Hebe: Mistakenly Thinking That Eating Wonton Would Cause Allergy
When it came to fine cuisine, each member of S.H.E had their own individual unforgettable experience. Selina provided the first tale:"My most unforgettable experience was one year, for Chinese New Year, we had dinner at a restaurant. My order was for Eel Rice. In the past, I would not turn the piece of eel over to look. For some reason, that time I turned the piece of eel over and found a dead thingyroach underneath the eel. So I got the restaurant manager to exchange for another order of Eel Rice. Later, they brought me another order but when I turned the piece of eel over, there was still a dead thingyroach. That left me with such a bad experience that I did not dare to order Eel Rice again."
Similarly, Ella’s unforgettable experience was also associated with a bad experience, "There was one time when I was a child, I ate some Mango Pudding. After I ate that, I felt dizzy and I did not dare to eat it again after that." As for Hebe, her experience was a misunderstanding, "When I was a child, there was a time when I had developed an allergic reaction after eating wonton which led to me thinking that I was allergic to wonton. It wasn’t until we went to Sichuan a couple of years ago to do promotion and they offered Sichuan Wonton to me, at first I didn’t dare to eat because I was worried about being allergic, later they forced me to give it a try and eat a piece. After I ate it, there was no allergic reaction. It was then I realized that I may have misunderstood wonton all these years. I am most likely allergic to wonton that contained MSG and not allergic to wonton."
