This scene has been at Axia Restaurant for decades, and is currently passed down to the hands of the fourth generation Wu Jianhao. For Taiwan He has his own ideas for the dishes and is very persistent in cooking, retaining the taste and mellow heritage of the family-herited dishes.

It is also often served by Tainan people during happy events or banquets. of delicacies. The red rice cake, which is almost synonymous with Axia Restaurant, is very particular about the ingredients. It uses long glutinous rice with high water retention in Erlin, Changhua, and fresh red rice cakes. It is killed daily and carefully washed. After the cake is stir-fried with dried shrimps, mushrooms, and minced meat until fragrant, it must be stirred with bare hands to evenly distribute the ingredients and absorb the flavour. Not only can you see the care in the details, but you must also follow Axia's instructions before serving the red rice cake. The crab roe must be presented upwards to show the host's sincerity and skill.

Lin Guohua, director of the Tourism Bureau, said that if the red rice cake is the most classic and famous dish of Axia, then the most traditional and ancient dish in the restaurant is the platter, which combines four ancient breakfast dishes such as shrimp and dates, pork liver rolls, rice rolls, and rice balls. It is a delicious handmade dish, and it is also the "starting dish" that Axia's father had when he first opened the stall. The shrimp jujube still uses fire to roast the shrimp according to the tradition, and the pork liver roll is still wrapped in mesh according to the ancient method; the rice sausage and meat are mostly powdered. There are few, and you get a solid piece of meat with a slight aroma of wine. In addition to being hand-made, you have to pay special attention to cooking it; the crab balls are a snack only found in the south. They are made with real crab meat and a variety of ingredients. Pudding is difficult and time-consuming to make; Wu Jianhao said that all the food in the platter cannot be produced by mechanization and is completely made by hand. The seemingly simple platter is actually a complete test of Kung Fu dishes. However, in order to save the life of his great-aunt Ah The traditional old taste left by Xia, no matter how tired you are, you have to keep making it by hand. What Wu Jianhao is most proud of is the fried eel. He is very picky about the quality of the eel. In addition to the fixed suppliers, as long as the eel is slightly defective, he would rather eliminate it than put it in the pot. It is fried quickly and quickly. The eel retains the original flavor and moisture of the ingredients, and is crispy and thick in the mouth, full of wok flavor.
