Meixian Shaomai

　　Meixian Shaomai

　　Shaomai is one of the traditional and well-known snacks of the Hakka people. It can be served at formal banquets as an accompaniment to drinks, or enjoyed casually on street corners. Legend has it that it was introduced to Meixian by Zhang Shanji of Ziwentang from Zhang’s House at Hongqiaotou in Meicheng. The reason why Hongqiaotou Shaomai is so beloved lies in its genuine dedication to craftsmanship and ingredient selection.

　　Its wrapper is made from premium flour, thin as paper; it uses fresh lean meat, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and squid for the filling, offering a uniquely delicious taste.
