Hakka cuisine is one of the three major Cantonese cuisines, keeping pace with Cantonese cuisine. Because the ancestors of Hakka people came from the north, Hakka dishes are relatively heavy in taste, well-cooked and close to northern dishes, so Hakka dishes are not only loved by Cantonese people, but also by many northern diners. For example, brine chicken, Hakka tofu and braised pork are well-known Hakka dishes. However, these dishes are very popular, not only in Hakka restaurants, but also in many Cantonese and Chaozhou restaurants, so the taste is somewhat different and it is difficult to reflect authentic Hakka dishes.
