佳田客家情酒楼 (Jiatian Hakka Restaurant) – Shenzhen, China

Started my new job recently and have been swarmed with loads of work. Seems like writing any new posts here will be tougher as things start picking up. Anyways, this Hakka restaurant has been around for sometime and I only discovered it when a friend recommended this place to me. Tucked in the village of Shuiwei of Shenzhen, this place is not visible from the main roads and definitely not a place where tourists would venture.

So I visit this place with a couple of friends and check out their food. I must say, the food is pretty awesome, typical Hakka dishes but fresh. Check out the pics below:

Steamed rice with maize and brown rice - I didn't expect the rice to be like that but this is how the farmers would eat.

Free soy bean curd while stocks last for lunch and dinner. Smooth and silky, gives those branded ones a run for their money... best of all, it's free!

Overall Rating: 4.5/5. Food is nice but a little oily and salty. Service could be a little more eager. Overall a good place to have a good hakka meal.
