Hakka delicacies
Braised pork with dried pickled mustard leaf
This dish is made with specially selected Taiwanese black pork belly of 60% fat and with skin. The resulting dish is fatty but not greasy, without a hint of unpleasant smell, and it melts in the mouth. The slightly spicy taste and aroma go well with the rich flavor of dried pickled mustard leaf.
Stir-fried chitlins with ginger
This dish is made by stir-frying pig intestines, green onion, ginger, garlic, and pickled mustard leaf in a hot pan. A bite of the chewy intestine with ginger is tart, refreshing, and mouthwatering!
Hakka vegetable buns
The dough is made of glutinous rice and long-grain rice, and the filling is of fried shredded radish and fried shallots. The buns are steamed on top of bamboo leaves such that when the steamer is opened, the air is filled with bamboo fragrance. The buns are so tasty people would always want to take a few home after having them.
Mesona
The obsidian-like mesona grass jelly can be enjoyed hot or cold. A cup of cold grass jelly drink can cool off the heat in the hot summer. A bowl of hot grass jelly can warm your stomach in the cold winter. Mesona can also be made into mesona cold noodles, mesona hot pot, and mesona chicken soup. A variety of ways to enjoy mesona is waiting for you!
