The Hakka Affairs Council on Tuesday touted a new kind of pizza with Hakka-style stir-fry toppings and other fusion dishes ahead of the Taiwan Culinary Exhibition beginning today.
The council’s Hakka Mixi pavilion at the exhibition would feature “slow fast food” prepared with traditional ingredients and flavors, but in novel forms, council Deputy Minister Chung Kung-chao (鍾孔炤) told a news conference introducing the dishes.
The innovative dishes would blend the traditions of Hakka home cooking with modern dishes that appeal to younger generations, he said.

Palau is again on the front line as China, and the US and its allies prepare their forces in an intensifying contest for control over the Asia-Pacific region. The democratic nation of just 17,000 people hosts US-controlled airstrips and soon-to-be-completed radar installations that the US military describes as “critical” to monitoring vast swathes of water and airspace. It is also a key piece of the second island chain, a string of
