Yi Xiang Yuan is a famous Hakka cuisine restaurant in Taipei, telling the story of Hakka sentiments with each dish that offers a taste of the countryside. In the past, rural life was poor and required a lot of manual labor, so the dietary habits were more inclined towards strong flavors. The characteristics of Hakka cuisine are "sour, fatty, rich, and salty." Examples include ginger slices with pork intestines, pickled mustard tuber with pork belly, braised pork legs, Hakka sealed meat, Hakka rice balls, and red bean rice cakes. The restaurant emphasizes the quality of the ingredients. The ingredients used at Yi Xiang Yuan are carefully selected. The chicken and dried ingredients come from the Taoyuan, Hsinchu, and Miaoli areas, and the pork used in the Hakka sealed meat is limited to black-haired pigs. The river shrimp are wild, and the castrated chickens are selected to be 8 months old. The restaurant insists on traditional methods to highlight the authentic taste of the countryside. "Pickled Mustard Tubers with Pork Belly" brings out the freshness and sweetness of the black pork, and it is sweet and delicious, making it a favorite among connoisseurs. "Hakka Sealed Meat" uses high-quality pork belly with soy sauce, rock sugar, and rice wine, simmered over low heat for a long time, creating a unique and irresistible flavor that is tender and delicate. In addition to Hakka cuisine, there are also popular dishes such as seafood, iron plate beef, and mapo tofu, offering customers different choices.
