Hakka delicacies
Moonlight cake
The round moonlight cakes symbolize harvest and success in a year. The pan-fried cakes are made with sweet potato flour, stuffed with fillings of sweet potato or taro paste, and sprinkled with a little powdered sugar on top - This is the secret to the sweet aroma and bouncy texture of moonlight cakes.
Red marinated duck
The bright red duck is marinated with a fermented mixture of red rice mold (Monascus purpureu) and rice wine. The meat is soft and tender, with a slight wine aroma and the rich flavor of the red rice mold. It is a top choice for Hakka people as a dish that goes well with plain rice.
