Healthy Express - Hakka Cuisine (客家菜)

Hakka Cuisine (客家菜)

One of the 3 major culinary traditions of Guangdong province alongside Cantonese and Teochew cuisines

Originating from the Hakka people — historically migrants known for their resilience and frugality — it emphasizes hearty, flavorful dishes that provide energy and satisfaction. In Hong Kong, Hakka food has become a beloved local favorite, blending traditional techniques with fresh seafood and ingredients readily available in the region.

This Dragon Boat Festival, "Healthy Express" and "LocoFARM" once again bring you traditional Hakka flavors!

Lai Chi Wo – A Century-Old Hakka Walled Village

Lai Chi Wo is one of the oldest, largest and best-preserved Hakka walled villages in the Northeast New Territories, with a history of at least 300 years.

Origin

Rooted in the migratory history of the Hakka people from northern to southern China, with strong representation in Hong Kong’s New Territories villages and urban restaurants. It reflects a practical, resource-efficient cooking style suited to agricultural life.

Flavor Profile

Bold, salty, aromatic, and umami-rich (“oil, salt, fragrance” — 油、鹹、香). Dishes often use preserved vegetables (like mei cai), soy sauce, and generous amounts of oil or fat for richness and preservation.

Nutritional Benefits

High in protein and calories from meats, tofu, and preserved ingredients; supports physical stamina and offers warming, restorative qualities in traditional Chinese dietary therapy. Many dishes incorporate fermented or preserved elements for gut health and longevity.

Culinary Uses

Signature dishes include Salt-Baked Chicken (鹽焗雞), Steamed Pork with Preserved Vegetables (梅菜扣肉), Stuffed Tofu (釀豆腐), and Hakka-style braised meats or seafood. Perfect for family feasts, festive “Nine Bowls” banquets (九大簋), or everyday home-cooked meals. Techniques like braising, stuffing, and salt-baking preserve flavors and textures.
