But the local Guangxi cuisine still offers several great delicacies, including the Guilin rice-flour noodles with horse meat (Marou mifen), "zongzi" - pyramid shaped meat dumpling wrapped in bamboo leaves, and "fried earthworm-shaped" noodles. Guangxi cuisine is light, but not as light as Cantonese food; it is spicy, but not as spicy as Sichuan cuisine. Guangxi cuisine combines the virtues of other Chinese cuisines and is most renowned for its unique treatment of venison and game meat.
