Jook-sing noodles is a rare type of Cantonese noodle found in some parts of Hong Kong,Macau,and some parts of Canton in Guangdong province,China.
The noodle is made with eggs,traditionally made with duck egg,and is considered one of the rarer noodles in existence. Historically the chef rides a bamboo log to press the eggs,flour,and other ingredients together. As of 2008 in Hong Kong,only a few restaurants are left that make the noodles in the traditional manner. [1]
One of the noodle's most popular combinations in a dish is jook-sing wonton noodles (竹昇雲吞麵). [1]
Cantonese or Yue cuisine is the cuisine of Guangdong province of China,particularly the provincial capital Guangzhou,and the surrounding regions in the Pearl River Delta including Hong Kong and Macau. Strictly speaking,Cantonese cuisine is the cuisine of Guangzhou or of Cantonese speakers,but it often includes the cooking styles of all the speakers of Yue Chinese languages in Guangdong. Scholars categorize Guangdong cuisine into three major groups based on the region's dialect:Cantonese,Hakka and Chaozhou cuisines. On the other hand,the Teochew cuisine and Hakka cuisine of Guangdong are considered their own styles,as is neighboring Guangxi's cuisine despite eastern Guangxi being considered culturally Cantonese due to the presence of ethnic Zhuang influences in the rest of the province. Cantonese cuisine is one of the Eight Culinary Traditions of Chinese cuisine. Its prominence outside China is due to the large number of Cantonese emigrants. Chefs trained in Cantonese cuisine are highly sought after throughout China. Until the late 20th century,most Chinese restaurants in the West served largely Cantonese dishes.

Yum cha includes two related concepts. The first is "yat jung leung gin" (一盅兩件),which translates literally as "one cup,two pieces". This refers to the custom of serving teahouse customers two pieces of delicately made food items,savory or sweet,to complement their tea. The second is dim sum (點心) and translates literally to "touching heart",the term used to designate the small food items that accompanied the tea drinking.
