Hakka delicacies
Goose meat
At a Hakka restaurant, you must order a plate of fatty and tender goose meat! The freshly slaughtered warm goose meat is cooked in a traditional cauldron, which retains the freshness, sweetness, and juiciness of the meat. It goes well with plain rice or as an appetizer with alcoholic drinks!
Hakka braised bamboo shoots
Large pieces of freshly picked Makino bamboo shoots, after braising, absorb the essence of preserved pickled mustard leaf and the broth. This Hakka dish gives the elegant aroma of bamboo shoots as well as the retro flavor of preserved pickled mustard leaf. It is truly a classic!
Hakka stir-fry
This Hakka signature dish is made by first stir-frying pork belly and dried tofu on high heat, then adding dried squid, and finally sautéing with chili peppers, celery, and green onions. A classic dish with layers of flavors is ready to be served!
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!
