Hong Chang Hakka Restaurant

「Old family restaurant of traditional Hakka cuisines」

Situated at the roadside of Highway 9, the Hakka Restaurant has been around in the small town of Guanshang for over 40 years. In the early time of its history when the grandmother of the owner ran the restaurant, it was just a casual dining place for bus drivers. When her daughter-in-law Huichu took charge, it started to offer a set menu. With the assistance of Huichu’s children, it has been turned into a classy restaurant serving traditional Hakka cuisines. Huichu often prepares the dishes with seasonal fruits and vegetables, including the salad with fresh fruits and braised chicken, a mouthwatering signature dish with stuffing of pumpkin, cabbage, and tomato, which release natural sweet flavor and fruity fragrance. This creative dish would change your traditional impression about Hakka food. Peanut tofu in thick soy sauce is another must-eat dish, which has such a rich flavor that you definitely want to give it a try! In winter, the whole family of Huichu are “mobilized” to make pickled radish after the second harvest of local rice. They use small-sized radishes to make dried radish with sun drying and pickling with salt. The radish chicken coup made with precious aged radish, fresh radish and dried radish is very nourishing food for lungs in the cold winter.
