What are the "eight bowls" of Kaixian?

Specifically, it is divided into Kaizhou head bowl, shredded pork with bamboo shoots, fish-flavored eight-piece chicken, tofu balls, steamed pork with rice flour, watercress pork elbow, Yizi Shaobai, and chopped fish.

The ingredients are carefully cooked and served in traditional large earthen bowls or large porcelain bowls. They are rich in nutrients and the order of serving is particular.

In the past, wealthy families not only prepared "eight bowls", but also added four cold dishes and two soup dishes to each table. In short, the final dish must be double portions.

The fish-flavored eight-piece chicken dish in the "Bada Bowl" was formerly known as Batuo.

Batuo is made from streaky pork, so a table of eight people is guaranteed to have at least one piece for each person.

Later, people's living standards improved greatly, and people felt that Ba Tuo was too greasy. After careful consideration and research in the catering industry, Ba Tuo was improved into Fish-flavored Eight-piece Chicken.

At the same time, these old "eight bowls" of dishes have been separated.

Nowadays, it is rare for the traditional "eight bowls" to appear uniformly at banquets. Nowadays, new dishes are added, and only some dishes are retained.
