One standout dish to try is the Hakka stuffed tofu, which is expertly seasoned and filled with a delicious mixture of pork and herbs. Another popular dish is the “Meatball Soup,” made from tender meatballs simmered in a flavorful broth that’s both comforting and rich in flavor. Throughout the meal, your guide will share insights into the cultural significance of the dishes and explain how they reflect the agrarian lifestyle of the Hakka people, emphasizing the importance of communal meals and the sharing of food within families.
