hakka soup and tang yuan


The other thing I always get at this place is the tang yuan (soup balls). The come in this rich pork broth with lots of greenery and bits of pork floating in it. Shallots and cilantro give you little hits of flavor. Unfortunately, I don't have a good shot of the balls, but they have a unique, soft chewy consistancy, and the filling is more pork with various flavors. The joy of these is the contrast in textures - The chewy tang yuan with a solid pork filling contrasted with the crispy greens and the silky broth makes it a joy to consume.
