Teochew cuisine, also known as Chiuchow cuisine, Chaozhou cuisine or Chaoshan cuisine, originated from the Chaoshan region in the eastern part of China's Guangdong Province, which includes the cities of Chaozhou, Shantou and Jieyang. Teochew cuisine bears more similarities to that of Fujian cuisine, particularly Southern Min cuisine, due to the similarity of Chaoshan's and Fujian's culture, language, and their geographic proximity to each other.[1] However, Teochew cuisine is also influenced by Cantonese cuisine in its style and technique.[1]
Teochew is a Chinese dialect group and Teochew people are Han Chinese from the historical Chaozhou prefecture (now the Chaoshan region) of eastern Guangdong province. In modern days, most Teochew people live in Guangdong province, and outside of mainland Chinese in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia and Singapore. Of course there are also Teochew in other parts of the world depending on where their ancestors migrate to in the olden days as they left their hometown in order to escape from a series of civil wars during the Jin dynasty (265-420).[info from wikipedia]
