Grass Jelly Chicken

Last updated 2026-11-16 — Hengshan (Guanshan) is one of the island’s main producers of grass jelly, known for its sweet flavor and pure quality. The Hakka people in the region incorporate grass jelly into their cooking, using it to flavor and simmer chicken, thus creating the famous Guanshan dish — Grass Jelly Chicken. The sweet aroma of the grass jelly blends perfectly with the tender and even texture of the chicken meat, resulting in a fragrant and refreshing taste that differs from the typically heavier flavors of Hakka cuisine. This distinctive dish can be enjoyed at Hakka restaurants across Guanshan and nearby towns.
