This farm-to-table cafe in the village of Lai Chi Wo sources produce locally and turns it into soul-warming delicacies. Organic pork wontons, flaxseed noodles tossed with scallions, winter melon and dried shrimp soup with rice are some of the items you may encounter depending on the season. Don't miss the Hakka sweet tea made from the village's last remaining wild sweet tea tree. Infusions of butterfly pea flower, marigold and lemongrass are other thirst-quenching options.
