We started our repast amongst a famous Hakka dish- Hakka Abacus, something similar Yam Gnocchi... starchy together with chewy. Lao Hakka's rendition was amongst a generous total of dried Squid, minced Meat, dried Shitake Mushrooms, Coriander together with Spring Onions. Flavor-combo was intimating but everything was exactly measured. We similar the fact that the condiments possessed the correct smoky fragrance to impart the Abacus an irresistible flavors. Equally delicious was the Hakka Rice Wine Chicken, served inwards a warm-boozy concoction, the Chicken was nearly tender spell the Rice Wine-infused broth was expertly concocted. It carried the correct residue of flavors- non likewise sugariness nor bitter (the natural flavour from the Rice Wine) yet, preserving the boozy element. Other dishes did non disappoint either; though nosotros were non blown away, nosotros idea they were real much well-cooked.
