Yuzu Flower Youth Hakka Cuisine - Taoyuan Branch Introduction
In 2016, awarded as a gold medal restaurant, Taoyuan's recommended dishes include preserved plum pork bun, fiery dry stir-fried dish, three-flavored pork, and candied kumquat pork. In 2012, Yuzu Flower was born as a new brand focusing on youthful Hakka cuisine. With the team's efforts, it has not only earned recognition as a Hakka gourmet demonstration restaurant from the Hakka Affairs Council but also received honors such as being a distinguished sanitation restaurant in Taoyuan County. In 2013, it was invited to participate in the Hakka Expo, promoting the vibrant essence of Hakka culture both domestically and internationally. The name Yuzu Flower, which signifies the taste of home, derives from Chairman Lin’s childhood, when two yuzu trees were planted in front of his house, filling the air with yuzu flower fragrance every March. Whenever he smelled the scent on his way home, he knew he was not far from home. Each dish tells a story: for example, the Bitter-Sweet Fortune Pot is an innovation of the traditional fortune vegetable soup, where fortune vegetables are wrapped in bitter melon, showcasing a memorable transition from bitterness to sweetness. The fiery dry stir-fried dish is also unique; the chairman learned from his mother’s stories that preserved radish holds special significance for many Hakka people who once hid from American bombings. This dish features organic preserved radish stir-fried with fresh tender chicken paired with a uniquely spicy sauce and garnished with burdock strips, making it visually striking. As for the preserved plum pork, a staple in most Hakka restaurants, it has also been innovatively reimagined here...
