Ren Tian Mei Nung Hakka Restaurant

Located in the Gushan District of Kaohsiung, right next to Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, this one-of-a-kind restaurant serves up authentic Hakka cuisine — a perfect blend of tradition and innovation. The chef was trained at Le Cordon Bleu Paris, and her aesthetic creativity is not only presented on the table but also in the interiors. A fine dining experience is guaranteed.

The mouthwatering braised pork with bamboo shoots and wax gourds is the signature dish here. The sweet and salty sauce is so appetizing that one can easily finish a steaming bowl of rice solely with this yummy specialty. The braised pork hock with bamboo shoots is another favorite of many: the knuckle retains the chewy texture that makes it so good that kids and adults alike just can’t get enough of it. A wide variety of natural and organic products are also available for sale, including fried black beans, pickled pineapples, smoked plums and the aromatic crispy fried shallots — everything is made with love and care.
