The Best Hakka Dishes to Try in Downtown Kitchener
Hakka food is the Indo-Chinese cooking that grew out of the Chinese community in Kolkata: bold, spicy, wok-fired and full of garlic, ginger and chilli. If you want to try it in Kitchener, here are the dishes to start with at Chilli N Chopsticks, our halal certified Hakka Chinese, Indo-Chinese and Thai restaurant at 183 King St E in Downtown Kitchener.
1. Chilli Chicken
The dish that defines Indo-Chinese food. Crispy chicken tossed in a glossy, garlicky chilli sauce with peppers and onions. Order it dry as a starter or with gravy to pair with rice or noodles.
2. Burnt Chilli Garlic Noodles
Wok-tossed noodles with crispy burnt garlic, dried red chillies and spring onion. Smoky, garlicky and one of our most-ordered dishes.
3. Fried Chilli Momo
Our momos are a house specialty. Fried until crisp, then tossed in our chilli sauce with onions and peppers. Prefer them plain? Get them steamed or fried, with veg or chicken.
4. Manchurian Chicken
A Hakka classic: tender chicken in a savoury, tangy Manchurian sauce. It’s comfort food at its best with a bowl of Hakka fried rice.
5. Hakka Fried Rice
Light, wok-fired rice with vegetables and spring onion. The perfect base for any gravy dish, and a full meal on its own.
6. Szechuan Chicken
For spice lovers: chicken in a bold, fiery Szechuan sauce. Tell us your spice level and we’ll make it your way.
Vegetarian? Try these
Gobi 65, Dragon Paneer, veg momos and our vegetable noodles and soups bring the same Hakka flavours without the meat.
