How it's used
This title is a clever play on the popular documentary series title 舌尖上的中國, which focuses on regional culinary traditions. By replacing the final character with 粵語, the title suggests that the language itself is a delicacy to be savored and explored. It is specifically used as a proper noun to refer to this particular educational program rather than as a general phrase for the language.
