You won't find classic Hakka dishes like stuffed tofu and three-cup duck at Jieyang Bundle Kueh 168, it's just a small shop that sells bundled kueh and stewed soup. The shops of several square meters are full from 18:00 to 3:00 in the morning, and the average waiting time is 1 hour. 168 can beat a number of traditional Hakka restaurants and enter the top three on the list, relying on a menu that will not go wrong with a closed eye.
Bundle cake, also known as bundle cake, is a special snack in Hakka areas such as Jiexi County and Fengshun County in Guangdong. When making, the kueh skin is steamed by rice grinding and steaming, and all kinds of fried fillings can be wrapped into a closed long cylinder. The taste of rice milk and filling is the difference between the taste of the bundle kueh. Inferior rice or rice flour steamed rice skin has a soft texture and is scattered when it is clamped; The delicious kuay skin should be ground into rice milk by high-quality rice and water, and after being made, it can be picked up in one piece, and the rice is fragrant and slightly sweet. The thickness of the 168 kuay skin is uniform, which can completely cover the full filling and is not easy to break, and the ductility, toughness and chewiness are excellent. The heat and seasoning of the fillings are also quite effective, and the store freshly stir-fries about 10 kinds of fillings every day, among which sauerkraut (darker in color, salty), pickles (whiter, slightly sweeter), taro, pumpkin and corn filling are the most popular. Chew slowly in the mouth, the elastic texture of the filling and kuay skin, the amount of oil and the seasoning are just right, oily but not greasy, which makes people unforgettable.
The stew is limited to 300 servings a day, and a batch is baked in about half an hour. The highest order rate is bitter gourd pork rib soup, each ingredient has surprises, bitter gourd retains a slight bitterness, the degree does not make people frown, and can even chew a little sweetness; The pork ribs are handled cleanly without blood and water residue, and the meat is mellow and does not send firewood; The soup absorbs the clarity and thickness of the two, and the salt seasoning alone is extraordinarily sweet and fresh, and the price of 13 yuan/cup is absolutely touching.
However, 168's service attitude is also notoriously poor, especially the proprietress is more arrogant and impatient, it is best to clarify which flavor you want to eat when ordering, and be prepared to wait for 30 minutes quickly, 1 hour slowly, and know well about the cramped and unhygienic dining environment, so as to have a pleasant eating enjoyment. It should be noted that there are many copycat stores in Jieyang Bundle Kueh 168, and there are only three official branches: the main store of Reservoir New Village, the branch of Fuqing Street and the branch of Buxin; And the store makes takeout orders first, and then makes in-store orders, so it will be very slow. If you are near a store, ordering takeout will be a more efficient form of dining; If you are far away and are willing to make a special trip to the store to taste, it is recommended to call the store to make an appointment first, and arrive at the store after 30 minutes to see the vacant seats and grab a seat, which will reduce the feeling of embarrassment.
