Weifang has many varieties of braised meat, among which the most famous and distinctive one is undoubtedly the Roast Barbecue. The meat that has just come out of the oven is about the size of a bowl. It is plump due to the heat and meat filling. It is round but there are no traces of kneading. It is slightly flat and golden in color. Because it is baked in a traditional oven, it does not have a greasy appearance like deep-frying, which makes it visually appealing.
3. Chicken and duck Hele
Weifang’s traditional famous food was changed to "Hele" based on its homophonic pronunciation, which means harmony, joy, happiness and contentment. In 1997, it was rated as "Chinese Famous Snacks" and "Shandong Famous Snacks" by the China Cuisine Association and the Shandong Provincial Department of Trade. Weifang people improved the raw materials, using wheat instead of buckwheat noodles, and adding chicken and duck meat, "Han Pork" and braised vegetables with small seasonings. Because the braised food is mainly chicken and duck, it was named "Chicken and Duck Hele".
