A-Cong's Mixed Noodles Introduction
Nantou Mixed Noodles Dream Factory, run by Master Ah Chong, aims to become the first Hakka restaurant in Shui Li Township, Nantou County. In 2015, it won the championship at the Hakka cuisine cooking competition, preserving the "pickled food culture" developed by the Hakka people to ensure food longevity. With years of culinary experience, pickled vegetables are used to prepare various delicious Hakka dishes, bringing innovative vitality to traditional Hakka cuisine and ensuring the sustainability of Hakka culinary culture to create a unique and distinctive brand. Ah Chong's Mixed Noodles promotes the core values and objectives of Hakka industry, contemplating how this culture is deeply rooted in the hearts of Hakka people while allowing the general public to understand the origins and history of Hakka. The exterior of the bento not only evokes immediate associations with Hakka food through Hakka floral fabrics but also incorporates the time-honored winter melon pickled by Grandma into the dishes. There are no extravagant plate presentations or flashy dishes, just the flavors traditionally enjoyed by Hakka people: "salty," "oily," and "fragrant," combined with modern healthy eating habits, cooking the meals into innovative Hakka cuisine. This idea won the championship in the Central Region Hakka cuisine competition in 2015, as the judges unanimously agreed that modern Hakka cuisine, while preserving pickled items as part of the dietary habits, can also align with the modern concepts of low oil, low salt, and low sugar. The taste is the best way to instinctively evoke the flavors of Hakka. Promoting the spirit of Hakka through creative snacks, they are a group fond of Hakka cuisine, enjoying pickled seasonings and innovative flavors created by chefs with fresh ideas. They often incorporate local ingredients and add personal creativity, treating cooking as an art, allowing people to enjoy not only the food but also the visual experience, creating a Hakka feast known as "Hakka Date." Hakka Champion Noodles! The Love Double Feast features the taste remembered by the master craftsman over fifty years—the meticulously simmered 12-hour pork bone broth infused with a hint of scallion aroma, combined with innovative changes from the second generation, integrating Hakka elements and local traditional osmanthus plum soup, along with appetizers loved by young people. The champion noodles of the Hakka community have been revitalized, becoming a must-try Hakka specialty dish on Shui Li Street!
