Hakka delicacies
Dried persimmon
The hilly terrain, coupled with the September wind, makes the unique geographical environment that is key to making delicious dried persimmons. When a thin layer of frosting forms on the dried persimmons, they become slightly sticky and have a sweet aroma.
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.
Dongfang Meiren (oriental beauty) tea
Oriental Beauty Tea is an insect tea produced from leaves bitten by the tea jassid. The bitten tea buds develop a unique aroma of ripe fruit and honey. The tea is smooth and not bitter, making the taste unforgettably good.
Leicha (ground tea)
Leicha is a traditional Hakka tea served to guests. Tea leaves, sesame seeds, peanuts, beans, and coriander are ground into a powder before hot water is poured in and stirred. There are slightly different methods and recipes in different Hakka regions, but the sincerity and hospitality are always the same.
