Hsinhua County's Hsinpu Town is a renowned Hakka community, famous for producing lychees, red plums, dried persimmons, and mando oranges. The unique "Hsinpu Agricultural Association Gourmet Restaurant" is located beside a vast field of emerald rice paddies. The restaurant features a comfortable and bright space, with a view of idyllic rural landscapes and local small farms from its windows, offering a refreshing escape from the usual clamor of dining environments.
Upon guests' arrival, enthusiastic "local moms" serve aged fermented pickles, seasoned cucumbers, and a Korean-style fruit kimchi with a revised recipe to stimulate their appetites before the Hakka cuisine. The restaurant sources seasonal, local ingredients, allowing guests to order their meals while observing the preparation in real-time. Guests may also book banquet-style meals here. The chefs uphold cooking methods that respect the original textures and flavors of the ingredients, delivering fresh, delicious, and healthy meals.
Madam Zhan Zhuang Shuang, a seasoned "farmer mom" with five decades of experience, adheres to ancient techniques for fermenting aged pickles, which are believed to detoxify, reduce blood sugar, and lower blood pressure. These pickles can be stir-fried,炖 into chicken soup, or used in zongzi rice dumplings. A hint of saltiness gives way to a sweet lingering aftertaste. Madam Zhan is also proud of her revised Korean-style fruit kimchi, which naturally ferments pumpkin, apple, lemon, pineapple, and other fruits without preservatives. Its mild spiciness and sweetness harmoniously balance the flavors.
